Can someone help me?

With reporting it to the company, I have found out that they only employ 3 people, therefore the person who I would be speaking to would most likely be the driver. I have decided not to cause any more problems with the driver because he seemed like the type who wouldnt take my explanation lightly.

Wise choice Matthew.

it did seem to me that you were riding quite wide, centrally up a two lane, one way road.

The lanes are very narrow, I dont like being in the gutter especially when it would encourage overtakes where the drivers wont get far.

Primary is centre of the lane. Secondary is about a meter from the curb or parked cars.

Cyclists should cycle showing the same courtesy and consideration to motorists that they would like to be reciprocated to them.

If a driver was revving their engine in order to intimidate another road user out of the way then the driver does not deserve any courtesy or consideration.

They werent doing that prior to the point at which courtesy could have been granted i.e. letting him out.

To clarify my speed up: It does seem like I was riding slowly but I dont like swerving in and out of parked cars, I like to gradually pull out so that drivers can anticipate what I am doing.

The angle of the camera lense does not make it look as if I was riding fast. I was not down that road. I was only doing about 16/17 mph.

I am not normally slow, but I wasnt going to go faster and endanger myself just because the van was right up my back side.

I'd shove a potatoe up the vans exhaust if you see it parked locally.

Also there is an element of self preservation involved. Whilst I will not move out of secondary for anyone (other than on single carridgeway, hedged either side country lanes), I would not hold primary for an unnecessarily long period of time, especially if I felt that my life was being put in danger.

Thats exactly the logic car drivers use about cyclists - this fffin cyclist deliberately cycling in the middle of the road deliberately to wind me up etc etc. Unfortunately cyclists are the vulnerable ones and we all have to bear the consequences for the actions of a few.

I was warned once about making comments like this. If something does now happen you could be right in the cross hairs of a police investigation.

I simply have the address that is registered with the company. I dont know if that is his personal address, but I wont bother mentioning it to the police. I will give them the company name and let them find out for themselves all the information.

You said you have his address in reference to "shove a potatoe up the vans exhaust".
