I'm glad he got prison time too. Should have gotten more.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

He probably wanted to claim it as an accident.
If the video wasn't there he would likely have gotten away with it, especially if anybody on the bus could testify that the driver had yelled at the cyclist for riding too close.

Ah! Very possible. Yeah the video was pretty damning. Anyone that saw it on the street knew it was on purpose and stopping immediately makes it look like he is stopping to gloat or laugh.

Think of it like this.
With the video: Obvious speed up, swerve out, swerve into him. 17 months prison.
Without the video: 15 witnesses who see different things. A driver and rider who had argued about being too close. Bus driver testifies that he was trying to go around and misjudged, or that he didn't see him until the last second and tried to swerve around(as long as he's consistent with his story). 1 month prison and some probation, maybe. Loses bus drivers license.
It's amazing what video evidence does to a trial.
