On our Near Miss of the Day feature today, we have another close pass on a country lane, with a Peugeot driver overtaking a cyclist with just inches to spare.
It happened to road.cc reader Simon, who told us it took place in "West Cornwall, between St Just and Sancreed, between Leswidden Farm and Grumbla."
“It's actually stand-out rare in this neck of the woods – even the couriers are careful as horses are as common as bikes,” Simon told us.
“You see this twonk haring off towards a blind bend – imagine a horse around that corner.”
He added: “No report to the police because I thought he might be local – and findable! No such luck!”
> Near Miss of the Day turns 100 - Why do we do the feature and what have we learnt from it?
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'd ask if it has been tested on English batsmen in the hot sub continent but they never bat long enough to find out.
I have one of those retro rim-brake bikes too! What make are your wheels? Do you find the 60mm tricky in winds?
The infrasturture needs to be built first. Why would anyone swap to a bike unless they felt it was a safe alternative?...
Hmm, a four year old article on when to change worn out articles.

Just... don't even think about it....
Looking at the reaction from the car, I suspect the driver was making sure they didn't hit anything on their left and didn't see the cyclist at all...
There's a few parked cars in it too in the video, making it unusable. Strange that many drivers would then have a go at the cyclist for not using a...
