Okay, you are fishing for replies.
"A driver brazenly filmed the moment he slammed on the brakes, throwing an
*innocent* cyclist into the back of his car"
Nope.
"The footage starts with the smirking driver spotting the cyclist traveling
along a pavement at speed before he veers into the road behind his car"
So not innocent then.
The driver braked suddenly. Drivers are allowed to do this.
The cyclist was too close to the proper road vehicle to stop. The driver did
not throw the cyclist in to his car, the cyclist rode in to the car.

"The cyclist, who is not wearing a helmet and appears to be close behind the
car, crashes into the rear window, smashing the glass".

So, not so innocent then.

The driver will probably be insured for the damaged caused by the cyclist.
Will the cyclist be insured? Answers on a postage stamp.

Drivers have no remit to act as court and executioner. Pedestrian
casualty figures show drivers are the biggest hypocrites around if they
try to act as the "pedestrian's friend".

It would be interesting to see what he writes down in a claim. If he
puts in a claim, at least he will have to pay an excess and higher
premiums for a few years. If he doesn't claim, will he lie about his
record when he renews?

The driver is on film as virtually admitting that he caused the crash

deliberately. I doubt that even the driver's insurance company would pay
out after watching the video.
I also doubt that a court of law would find the cyclist liable after
watching the video and possibly even judge that compensation is due to
the cyclist.

Perhaps the cyclist will learn from his mistake, but I doubt it.

The video doesn't show what's in front of the car, so we don't know why
the driver braked. Doing so *for the purpose* of causing harm to the
cyclist is possibly ABH/GBH. If the cyclist had been killed, it might
have been murder. However, proving the driver's intent might be
difficult, and in the ordinary course of events it's up to the vehicle
behind to leave sufficient space to stop.

Fake video, the cyclist was not wearing a helmet therefore could not have survived.

What penalty has the driver received for using a phone whilst driving snd attempted murder?

Yes.
As a bicycle is a road vehicle, you are quite correct sir.
But cyclists are far too stupid to understand this.

After extensive research I have finally figured out Mr Pounders problem.
As an infant his mother accidentally embedded a chisel into his soft skull and at the time there was no way to remove it. This meant his brain could not fully mature. Now medical science has advanced the chisel could be removed but it would destroy what little brain function he has left.
