So, don't fuck around with your phone while driving. Stick to the traffic rules. Avoiding him seems really, really easy.

Anyone who chooses to grab their phone while driving a car deserves all the negativity they get. Unlearn that habit. Seek help if you're addicted to that device. Or just take the Tube.

Yeah this is the animosity I'm talking about. I'd just point out that this also translates to drivers showing that animosity to cyclists on the streets in London.

There's a huge difference between "animosity" because someone is endangering your life and "animosity" because you're stuck in traffic and don't like seeing a cyclist making progress. Most of the "animosity" from drivers is due to them not thinking clearly about the situation and also being aggressive bullies.

And what about the people he harasses who are literally stopped?

If you're queuing in traffic or stopped at some lights, then you're still in control of a big metal machine on the road and have a responsibility to have your attention on the road. If you're distracted then you might not notice a situation where you need to move the car aside in order to prevent an accident from escalating.

You mean he harasses the people who are so entitled that when called out on their dangerous and illegal driving they get confrontational?

I think a lot of these are while idling at traffic lights and tbh, I have a little sympathy

Does the law say that’s OK?

If not, the driver is still in the wrong.
