@Jasper,

Your point is valid, but the bottom line is, the driver of the pickup truck interpreted the cyclists attempt to position himself in a safe and responsible manner as a provocation. It's the same fundamental attribution error that certain folks make here and elsewhere quite often. In the scenario where drivers are behaving as reasonable adults, staying a bit more to the left might have been preferable. In this case, it would've inflamed the bullying manchild in the pickup truck even more.
