Near Miss of the Day 519: Driver tailgates cyclist then makes deliberate close pass – on Day 1 of latest lockdown
England went back into full lockdown last Wednesday, but the roads are a lot busier than they were in spring last year when restrictions aimed at containing COVID-19 were first introduced – and here we have a cyclist who, on the first day the new rules came in, was tailgated by a driver who then made a deliberate close pass on him.
The clip, filmed in Nottinghamshire, was sent in by road.cc reader Julian, who is an accredited cycling instructor. He said: “For the 15-20 seconds preceding the video clip, this driver had been tailgating me, as I was doing my best to navigate my way thru streaks of mucky debris left on a rural road (Swabs Lane) nr Cropwell Bishop.. “The driver had also shown further signs of aggressive deliberation: revving his engine as he was tailgating me. “The pass was so close that the side of the vehicle came into contact with my foot: if you slow down/freeze frame you will be able to see the mark my foot left on the side of the vehicle door,” Julian added. https://road.cc/content/news/near-mi...se-pass-279981 |
