Cyclist educates a driver YouTube stillVideo: Was this cyclist right to take this motorist to task?
Helmet camera footage can be found everywhere from YouTube to the national media these days, and can also help convict motorists involved in collisions or altercations with cyclists, or who are simply enjoying their breakfast while attempting to drive a car.
Video: Woman caught eating bowl of cereal while driving
But are some cyclists overdoing it? Have a look at this video, posted to YouTube last month showing a cyclist remonstrating with a motorist he believed had endangered him after she overtook him then turned left into a branch of Lidl to do her shopping.
Is it really that bad of an overtake? Was the cyclist justified in following the driver into the car park and then take her to task for what he saw as her poor driving? Who was being more reasonable, the cyclist or the driver? And would the situation have been different if the person in the car had been a 6' 4" builder?
The commenters on YouTube are pretty unanimous in their thoughts. Let us know your views in the comments below.

It looks to me that the first overtake was clean but the second one was too close. He took his anger out on the wrong driver.
Looking at his other video's, he's just looking for any reason to moan, but yet to find one.
Towards the end of his video, he says because she apologiesed, he's get rid of the footage....where does he get rid of it to? Youtube.....what a TUBE
It is pricks like this and a few others that give all helmet cam wearers a bad rep.
Damn, he's removed it? I was hoping to have a laugh at his other stuff.
What's his Youtube name?
5 seocnds in and all I can think is "This is another one of those pisstake videos".
That or its a set up to make all cyclecammers out to be fuckwits (which some need no assistance with)
Name and shame that cyclist!
Cyclist was a nobber.
Car appeared to be way ahead of cyclist before turning.
The driver was perfectly reasonable and calm, particularly when accepting the cyclist's offer to view the video. I think that caught him by surprise as he backed out of doing that very quickly.
In general, he came across as a sanctimonious nobber and, worse still, a liar after telling the woman he'd wipe the footage and forget all about it yet it's published here and elsewhere.
The cyclist seems totally wrong.
His only saving grace is that he was relatively moderate (if rather self-righteous) in his approach to the woman (who was even more moderate, despite being falsely accused).
Cyclist was a complete d!ck.
The overtake was clean, and far enouph in advance of the junction for it to be safe.
frankly (he) was boardering on assult - he got so worked up about having to lightly brush his breaks, he had to stop and winge about it for 5 minutes!
Something smells fishy here.
Guys* an idiot, car was waaaaaaaay ahead of him, he didn't even have any reason to slow down the speed he was going.
*I'm assuming guy, I don't have the sound on.
