Dramatic footage shows the moment a London cyclist was 'brake checked' by a swerving Highway Maintenance truck after it passed him closely for the third time.<br /><br />The incident, captured in its entirety by a helmet camera, happened on the Shoot Up Hill segment of the capital's Edgware Road on Wednesday morning. It has been reported to police.<br /><br />The cyclist described the incident online, saying: "On my usual cycle commute into London, I got passed quite closely by this truck. At first I didn't think much of it as it usually happens, but when it happened the second time I got quite annoyed as he passed me as I was passing a stationary bus.<br /><br />"He subsequently swerved into the bus lane almost to prove a point. I showed my annoyance to the way he was driving and when I caught up to him at the traffic lights I gave him a quick glance. After the lights went green he passed me once again quite close.<br /><br />"This time I was a little more vocal about his driving prowess, to which he decided to brake check me and then come to an almost complete standstill on a main road to block me, and then start veering from side to side. I guess he thought this was funny.<br /><br />"I was able to chase him down further down the road to inform him that the whole incident was captured on my helmet cam.<br /><br />"His reaction to that was pretty much as expected. The middle finger. Maybe that is what his boss will show him when the police get in touch."
