According to this driver I swerved right and "rode dangerously". 

To this driver, I have the following things to say:  
While you  weren't quite as close as I thought (ie, under 0.5m),  it was still well less than the required minimum of a metre. From the video and previous experience I estimate 0.6-0.7m  at the most. 

The video shows I did indeed hold a straight line and you had a good half-metre available to your right before crossing the broken centre line (not a double centre line as you assert). Why did you not use it?  Everyone else was wonderfully considerate and courteous. Why not you?

The  video also shows definitively all your other assertions about my behaviour except my position on the road are imaginary. 

To answer your question, sir, about "(squeaky voice) where am I supposed to go? " you had the following three options:
1: crossing the centre line to give me more room *when safe*. If unsafe, you can either 
2: brake and wait for me to move left, or 
3: brake and wait for a safe opportunity cross the centre line to pass. 

This is what everyone else did yesterday morning. If a rough-looking tradie in a white van can cheerfully wait until there's room to give me a metre safe passing distance, I have to ask what's wrong with you, supposedly a gentleman in a Mercedes, that it was such a problem to be considerate?
