QUOTE:
One type of close pass we often see in submissions to our Near Miss of
the Day feature is when a driver overtakes a cyclist and has to pull
in immediately because there is another vehicle approaching. Today's
video takes that to another level, with the driver of an HGV having to
pull back in because another lorry is coming towards them.

The footage was shot last Wednesday by road.cc reader Chris, and you
can see him wobble due to the downdraft from the lorry as it passes
him around a minute into the video - never a pleasant feeling.

He said: "Not only did the HGV overtake me on solid double white lines
he also chose to close pass me so that he could avoid hitting another
HGV head on.

" am sure the oncoming HGV driver must have been a little worried."

"I reported this to Sussex Police and all they have done is send ‘an
advisory letter’ to the driver."

That's serious.
