Near Miss of the Day 452: Horse box lorry driver's astonishinglyclose pass "scared me sh*tless," says cyclist
Bloody hell - that was close!
QUOTE: Here's an astonishingly close overtake on a cyclist, at speed, by the driver of a horse box lorry - leaving the rider who found himself on the receiving end to say that it "scared me ****less." The road.cc reader who filmed it, Bruce, said: "It was on the A413 near Whittlebury, just outside Towcester. "I didn't report it as the number plate is not 100% clear unfortunately, that plus Northamptonshire police never ever update you on submitted videos (against their policy) so totally discouraged from reporting on their side. "Other forces are much better," he added. https://road.cc/content/news/near-mi...shtless-276307 |

"Other forces are much better," he added. https://road.cc/content/news/near-mi...shtless-276307 Nugents will say 'No harm no foul', apparently if you don't actually hit the other road user it doesn't count. Unless you are riding a bicycle and go through a traffic light after it has been red for 0.000000000000001 seconds of course, in that case it proves all cyclists are criminals. I assume Nugents apply the same 'logic' to drunk drivers. |

Perhaps Bruce considers himself an honourary member or very close friend of the police, entitled to know their internal activities and have them report back. There are already enough police time wasters and Bruce might well guess his previous pettifoggery lies in File 13. |
