The notrious "right hook" is my greatest fear while riding on bike
lanes or side paths. Seeing behind is a serious issue for reclined
riders.

with action videoNo report had been filed because it is so common and the police normally do nothing at all unless there are4 serious injuries.

The rider was directly next to him and he was making an illegaol right turn since there was a sign stating "no right turn on red".

Due to the damage I struggle to see much behind me beyond its big and red must be a bus sort of thing! Though London population and generally slower speeds plus some of the bike infrastructure either bypass the junctions or use traffic lights to control junctions, plus no turn on red and so on.
In general stuff is less car centric in design, which makes sense
considering the mode shares and what not.

not only did the driver commit a 'right hook' which is itself a traffic >violation, but he made the move in an attempt to circumvent the
stoplight. The vehicles in front of him were stopped waiting for the red >right arrow to turn green, he drove around them. He's very clearly one
of those people to whom the law doesn't apply.

There was a pretty clear shot at his licence plate and there should
have been some damage to his right side. Should've been easy to track
him down.
