Den i feel for you man i have seen this more than once, for some odd reason people get annoyed/upset/angry that whilst they sit in traffic your cruising home. I used to ride a bike but not anymore, my father rides a bike and he too runs into them from time to time. I think the main problem on our roads is an ego thing, it really is, the woman tend not to do stuiped things on PURPOSE it just happens
I must say off ALL cars i have come across on the road BMW drivers have a major malfunction, i'll put GTi drivers at number 2 and then Mini cooper fags at number 3. When i drive in my car and see a dude coming on a bike in the middle of the lane, i give him abit of space and you know what 99% of the time the biker acknowledges it and puts his hand or thumbs up saying thanks, on our roads you do need to be brave to drive a bike. As joker says its true, people are "big" in their cars, once your approach them then things change though i would not go so far as to assault the dude can have the last laugh and lay assault charges, i'd rather be the bigger man and walk away because karma is indeed a bitch and it WILL find you.

Weakest, Boss drives a BMW doesn't he :P

Nope. Its the ones who remove the 318i code at the back. Or even better paste a "M" logo next to the existing code. Its like an open admission of patheticness. Sorta like a hectic comb-over....rather just rock a bold head proudly a la bruce willis style.
Well you were there & can judge it best, but there is an alternative interpretation: Cars drivers aren't very situationally aware & often barely awake. If the BMW driver notices you very late & reacts very slowly then he'd behave exactly as you described: First keep blocking then swerve left.
Frankly I'm very scared of running over bikers & pedestrians so I try to give them *lots* of room. I doubt I'm popular with other car drivers though...those I face with a show-no-mercy attitude.
BMW drivers I can deal with...its the cars with high seating positions & short bonnets that get to me (4x4s & panel van style vehicles). Because they can *see* so much of the road their perception of safe following distance is completely fubar.
He was fully aware of me, because i saw him look in his rear view mirror. he intentionally blocked me.
i swear though, i'm going to start carrying a fucking baton on each side of the bike for wankers like this. I really want to know what he was trying to achieve by mock swerving. Had I crashed or fallen, irrespective of what did or didn't earlier, he would be guilt and be liable for jail time. Is that really worth it?
Can't you go report this at the police station? That he tried to make you have an accident. Probably nothing much will happen from it but he could get contacted by the police which would annoy him. Don't let this stand, even if it just means irritating him via police.
