The thing that strikes me about those is that maybe half the people who
posted them were themselves demonstrating incompetence and ignorance of
traffic law.

dashcams are terrible at anticipating hazards."

Not just hazards. Some people manage to make a meal out of some
perfectly ordinary situations.

You may be right but in this case we have clear evidence of a motorvehicleist driving on a pavement and seriously endangering the life of a pedestrian..
According to some posters this never happens.

Indeed - just go a bit slower and leave more room and watch what other
road users are doing. Although I had occasion to use the horn and
shout abuse yesterday, at the woman in a SUV who was stationary on a
roundabout and occupying two lanes, one of which was otherwise clear
and the way I wanted to go. I'm not sure if she was oblivious,
unaware of the size of her vehicle, or just one of those "if I'm stuck
in traffic then **** everyone else" characters.

Which reminds me - a few days ago I was beeped and aggressively
overtaken by someone while negotiating traffic at a junction on the way
into town - when I inevitably caught up moments later (heavy traffic
and multiple lights and junctions) and asked her what the problem was
she told me that I should be on the cycle path, not in the road. I
truly felt that I had arrived as a proper urban cyclist, nobody has
ever said that to me before. I advised her to study the Highway Code
before leaving her stuck in a queue and proceeding to my destination,
where I had no difficulty parking right outside. I expect she'd made
it to the next set of lights by then. :-)
