If that was a normal 2 lane road and someone went past on their lane, the 1st one wouldn't stop and squeal and the 2nd wouldn't fall off, bloke should have pleaded not guilty, and before anyone has a pop, yes I do ride a bike.
And she was turning round shouting at the motorist I guess, looks like that bit was cut from the video.
You realise that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, don't you?

Deserves everything he got. Initially pleaded not guilty but when prosecuted and presented with evidence pleaded guilty.
As the local RPU stated drivers should always give 1.5 m distance and pass slowly. He did neither

I'd have parked my Land Rover up, strolled up to the ditch with some purpose, brandished a Yellow Card at her whilst fending off the protestations of her fellow cyclists, then returned to my vehicle and carried on my day...

If it's good enough for the old bill to prosecute and win its good enough for me , as I said deserves everything he got !

I'm sorry but all I see there is someone falling off their bike (probably after being bumped by the cyclist behind). The bloke (of course it was a bloke) with the head cam should have stayed behing the person in front, too, and not pulled out.
I am someone who cycles regularly in London (until 2 years ago, 5 days a week).
Edit. Nope, just watched a 4th and 5th time. No idea why she fell over

But that's not all that happened is it?
What happened was the driver of a big land rover, coming in the opposite direction, on a single lane road, failed to give due care and attention to other road users.
Now sure the cyclists don't seem the most sure of themselves (all the more reason to pay attention) and had they been 'lycra louts' I'll hazard a guess the passing would have gone unnoticed.
The incident was caused by the actions of the driver.
