Dashcam shows outrageous moment cyclist fakes being hit by car and
aggressively tells driver he’s going to make a claim
The Youtbe video shows a man going past on his bike before stopping and
getting off his bike claiming that he has been 'hit'

I sincerely hope the cyclist reports this incident to the police and ends up with a fine for cycling on the footway.

I am aware Common Assault only requires the threat of unlawful violence but I can see no such threat in the video.

it is a question of whether the person in the car was in fear of being
thumped by the thug on a bike that was raving at him.

If you say so.
I am embarrassed to live in a society where adults run crying to their mummies because the big boys called them names.
The cyclist could be charged under section 5 of the 1986 public order act and that is equally embarrassing. Can we no longer express any opinion without fear of arrest?

The laws of the UK say so.

It is the only legal way to discourage further occurrences of the same
sort of thing.

Of course you can, but ranting, raving and swearing should be considered
out of order in any rational society.

You like living in a police state?

Or maybe we could try and educate people rather than punish them.

Using your definition the driver assaulted the woman and her children by starting his engine.
Then again the woman assaulted the driver with her racist rant.
I think the woman punished herself by behaving like an idiot but is free to express her opinions and should not be arrested as she would have been if it happened in the UK.
