Handguards, stop your hands getting whipped by branches and brambles off road and more importantly stop branches tangling/interfering with the brakes and gear levers. Quite useful even on a commuter bike, given the overgrown nature of many cycle paths.

Well done for spotting the danger and avoiding a collision and thank you for taking the time and trouble to submit it to the police.

I suggest you submit this for NMOTD when you have had a response from Hants, may be edited for length.

Drivers cutting corners

Drivers cutting corners without looking is unfortunately very common, and will continue to be so long as there are no consequences for it. Or, where there are consequences, they’re minor https://road.cc/content/news/mechanic-escapes-ban-after-cutting-corner-cyclist-293891

Here’s one of mine: https://youtu.be/D7PZnvKap44
I’m very wary at that junction because it’s so common there. This particular driver was on his phone so sterring lazily with one hand and not paying attention to the road. Unfortunately my camera is on the bars so too low to see the phone in his hand.

Submit yours to NMOTD and wait for the usual Facebook trolls to justify it.

Not a very good camera angle.

If you get a close pass in the same direction, it’s not really going to show what oncoming traffic is doing – whether drivers had to slow, stop or move off the road to avoid a collision.

Not picking up roads signs either.

Yep probably.. funny though

Yep probably.. funny though that I could see him the whole time and could see that he was totally oblivious!

I bet you their defence will

I bet you their defence will be…they didn’t see you.  Probably because you were in the blind spot of the windscreen pillar.  I would have been tempted to lean in and shout right at them.
