So the take-home message is, Cops just need to come on aggressively and threaten to write a shed-load of tickets and they can ram your backside if you slow to let a vehicle change lanes.
Maybe having the camera rolling helped save him going to jail.    :eek
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Attack is obviously the best form of defence.  Far better than SMIDSY.

The cop was covering his own arse right from the start and backed down when he realised he was being filmed  :spank

I would love to see that arrogant cop get done. He was in the wrong and he knew it. What an arse.

Not bad tactics if he could've got away with it. Book the bloke for braking when the cop's tailgating him
