As a result of my complaint to the police, the driver was offered, and subsequently completed, a driver education course as an alternative to prosecution. I believe that if there are any similar complaints made against this driver in the next three years, the police would normally refer the case to prosecution.

People on bicycles are vulnerable road users, second only to horses and riders. If in doubt, drive as if people on bicycles are horses and riders.
Ideally, all drivers, including myself, need to re-take their driving test every five years.
Rule 140 of the Highway Code (abridged):
You should give way to cyclists approaching or using the cycle track when you are turning into or out of a junction (see Rule H3). Be prepared to stop and wait for a safe gap in the flow of cyclists before crossing the cycle track, which may be used by cyclists travelling in both directions.
Rule H3 of the Highway Code:
You should not cut across cyclists, horse riders or horse drawn vehicles going ahead when you are turning into or out of a junction or changing direction or lane, just as you would not turn across the path of another motor vehicle. This applies whether they are using a cycle lane, a cycle track or riding ahead on the road and you should give way to them.
