An insightful comment - "Videos like this make me wonder if? some people
buy a bike just so they can go around point out driving errors and
taking
the moral high ground."

If I stood at a busy London road junction criticising cyclists, I could
reasonably expect some of them to take offence and confront me.

Why?

Because there will always be a proportion of society who are like that.

Yes, but how would they know you were criticising them?

For all they would know (or be able to hear), you and your companions
might be discussing any random bunch of chav scofflaws. Cyclists passing
you need not know that you were particularly talking about them.
