Furious driver speeds at cyclist in REVERSE after angry roadside confrontation

This angry confrontation between a motorist and cyclist appears to show the driver speeding towards the biker in REVERSE.

Cyclist Thomas Bardon, 23, ducked into a nearby driveway to avoid the red Peugeot as it reversed towards him down the country lane in Harrogate, Yorks.
 
Thomas and the unnamed driver had been involved in a verbal spat after the driver nearly collided with the cyclist as they travelled past a parked car.
 
After angrily beeping a horn on his bike and angrily gesturing at the driver, he turned to carry on cycling.

But Thomas claims that he realised the driver had stuck his car in reverse - and the whole incident was captured on camera.
 
Thomas, from Harrogate, Yorks, was cycling home when the incident occurred last month.

He said: 'In the mirror I noticed a car coming towards me with speed. I was sure he was going to run me down so took refuge in an upcoming driveway I knew of.'
 
The duo exchanged remarks after the driver pulled up to block the road, before both carried on their way.

Thomas added: 'After he left I set off again keeping my eye on my mirror in case he did a U-turn and tried to come at me again. It was reported to the police but they took no interest.'
 
A police spokesperson confirmed that they were not investigating the incident.
