Near Miss of the Day 572: West Midlands Police take swift actionagainst close pass driver

As you may well know, it was West Midlands Police that first developed the initiative targeting drivers who overtake cyclists without giving sufficient room, and subsequently adopted by police forces across the UK - so much so that this week even saw a national Close Pass Day, with operations taking place across the country.

Today's offering in our Near Miss of the Day series also highlights that the force aren't slow to act on footage submitted by cyclists of drivers making close passes, with road.cc user Sevenfold, who sent it to West Midlands Police through their Nextbase portal only last Sunday, telling us that the motorist who overtook him in Sutton Coldfield has been sent on an "educational course."

Let's hope the driver learns from it and we have one less motorist in future who doesn't leave enough room when passing someone on a bike.
