However, I'm guessing he was frustrated with you sitting in the overtaking lane, which you continued to sit in even after the incident. Just my 2 cents.

The magnetic pull on his vehicle was so strong it even dragged him onto the rumble strips after the BMW passed...

Nobody behind me. If you read the topic at hand he flew down from flyover.

You keep left whilst nobody is in front of you. Not keep right whilst nobody is behind you.

That's not how lane discipline works. It's the other way around.

That's not his point. His point is that you not should even be in that lane except when overtaking.
You overtook and stayed there, that's not allowed.
You say you are within your rights to stay there, in that case be prepared to have more incidences of people undertaking or worse, road rage.
Serious issue in Ireland with people thinking they can stay in the "fast lane" and then get pissy when they are called out on it.

Not getting pissy about it at all,good to know you are also part of the perfect road user bridage when it suits.

Took me a while to figure out what was going on, I thought they were a series of different videos until I spotted they were all inter-related.

Another huge part of the problem.

Not alone are people sitting in the wrong lane, due to lack of awareness or knowledge or whatever; but that is compounded with people immediately going on the defensive.

Accept you were in the wrong and acknowledge you will need to adjust the way you drive.

I did years ago, when a work colleague give me a right ear bashing for sitting on the outer lane as well :pac:

I'm not perfect by a long shot but I know when I should be in a certain lane and when I shouldn't be.
Anywhooo let's move on.

It's not the fast lane; it's the overtaking lane. The person you complained about drives better than you :pac;

I think you need to refocus your front lens. It shows your NCT/tax/insurance holder thing in focus, but not the car plates in front (compared to your rear view camera). Had a similar issue myself before, but found an option to focus on things 2 meters and beyond. Perhaps something to look into?

Was it an add on? Unfortunately the cam has no focus settings built it, very annoying as the rear cam is perfect.
