Near Miss of the Day 454: Driver tries to overtake on blind corner,thinks better of it
Poor anticipation skills by the driver.
QUOTE: Something slightly different on our Near Miss of the Day feature today - a motorist who gives cyclists plenty of room when overtaking. That's offset by the fact that she has to swerve back in, almost clipping a rider's back wheel, when she realises there is traffic coming the other way as she tries to pass him on a blind bend. The foorage (SIC) was sent in by road.cc reader Alex, who shot it in Buckinghamshire. He told us: "En route from Wooburn Green to Bourne End (Bucks), this lady decided to go for it round a blind right-hander. "She had to rethink when the oncoming car appeared (presumably, she saw it a bit late due to being on the other side of the road). "At least she was giving me (and the other cyclist) a decent amount of room until that point." https://road.cc/content/news/near-mi...-corner-276425 |

Looks like a perfectly reasonable change of mind - brake before the move sideways. The foorage (SIC) was sent in by road.cc reader Alex, who shot it in Buckinghamshire.
