Near Miss of the Day 43: Van driver almost hits cyclist - twice in 2 minutes

Here's a van driver who really doesn't look out for cyclists - almost hitting the same rider twice in the space of two minutes ib Brighton.

The footage was shot by road.cc reader Andy Lamb, who told us: "I wrote to the company on the van; I told them I would like them to deal with the issue or else I will go to the police.

"The firm replied immediately saying they think this is very serious and they will investigate further.

"Actually I never heard back from them since," added Andy, who said he has not yet forwarded the footage to the police.

Over the years road.cc has reported on literally hundreds of close passes and near misses involving badly driven vehicles from every corner of the country – so many, in fact, that we’ve decided to turn the phenomenon into a regular feature on the site. One day hopefully we will run out of close passes and near misses to report on, but until that happy day arrives, Near Miss of the Day will keep rolling on.

If you’ve caught on camera a close encounter of the uncomfortable kind with another road user that you’d like to share with the wider cycling community please send it to us at info [at] road.cc or send us a message via the road.cc Facebook page.

If the video is on YouTube, please send us a link, if not we can add any footage you supply to our YouTube channel as an unlisted video (so it won't show up on searches).

Please also let us know whether you contacted the police and if so what their reaction was, as well as the reaction of the vehicle operator if it was a bus, lorry or van with company markings etc.
