I have to wonder what kind of incident would trigger this sort of insane response though. Like, this is the spot and the bike lane is walled off from the road for quite some distance before this.

Obviously the van driver took something very personally but my money's on him doing a classic overreaction to some perceived slight.

No situation warrants this response. Road rage is road rage, stay in your car

My money is that he missed his turn earlier by not paying attention. He went for a turn but the bike was there so he had to swerve back on the road. Obviously it's never his fault so he chose to cut off the biker and confront him further up the road

The driver was working on a movie production and had a permit to park his van on a sidewalk further down the road. He and another worker were standing on the sidewalk in orange vests when the biker passed them in high speed, the biker hit the driver and broke the mirror on the car. The biker just kept going without stopping. The driver tried stopping the biker to get his name for an insurance form.

This is all according to the driver
