Near Miss of the Day 552: Close pass driver fined for dangerous overtake
A cyclist narrowly avoids getting hit by a car after a driver tries to overtake him on a busy residential street.
The incident which took place in January 2020, was recorded by road.cc reader Jonny in North Wales. In the video Jonny is riding along a road and films a number of cars safely overtaking him before he approaches a bus stop. Despite the fact there are a number of oncoming cars on the other side of the road the impatient driver of a Honda decides to overtake. Jonny reported the motorist to North Wales Police where they entered a guilty plea to careless driving. The driver received 3 points, a fine of £130 and was ordered to pay costs of £90. https://road.cc/content/news/near-miss-day-552-281525 |

Or is it just the semi-literate road.cc at it again, seemingly staffed by people for whom English is not their first language?

From burt the bike, once of this parish: eburtthebike | 1641 posts | 4 hours ago 5 likes Well done for reporting this and getting a result, and kudos to the police for following it up. That cycle lane is a death trap, and is likely the cause of the driver doing the dangerous pass; has it been reported to the council? Otherwise it's just going to keep happening. Maybe they could apply for some of the cycling cash the government don't seem to be able to spend and get it made cyclist-friendly. https://road.cc/content/news/near-miss-day-552-281525 |
