A few of the videos in our Near Miss of the Day series have featured drivers pulling out in front of cyclists at roundabouts, and here's another, this time one that happened during the hours of darkness.
It was sent in by road.cc reader Rupert who told us that "the driver was totally oblivious and unapologetic."
He confirmed that he had submitted the footage, which was shot at Shepperton War Memorial in Surrey just outside south west London, to 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.
I have absolutely no idea what you are getting at there . . . . . .
🙌😁
45 degrees and wobbly video. I hope this doesn't overtake "vertical video" as the new trend on social media. Literally unwatchable🤢
Gotcha; hadn't realised you were posing a theoretical, sorry. ...
yes porpoising has been around since well before CFD existed, its a well known ground effect phenomenon, but I do think the worst extremes we are...
I purchased a Ribble on Jan 6th 2022 and it finally arrived on the 22nd June 2022....A painful wait!
And just like that, probably not PBU but another of the same set of drive-through opinions did precisely that on t'other thread.
This is quite right , frankly I don't think the plod want to be bothered with these pesky cyclists, they actually have the affrontery to take up...
"Feel" / "had to"....
Thank you, most enlightening.
