I love Katie’s Youtube channel. This is one of the closest passes from a bus I’ve ever seen! This driver doesn’t need re-training, they need firing and prosecuting.

The close pass is horrific
The close pass is horrific and a prime example of a murder strip in use.

I stopped watching though when she started blaming herself and turning it in to an advert for the Garmin radar.

As a cyclist, there is nothing, absolutely nothing that we can do to prevent close passing … the only way that CPs can be prevented is the driver being less of a cock.

Daytime running lights are not compulsory; however the HWC recommends the wearing of bright clothes (although there was nothing wrong with what the rider was wearing).
From my own personal experience of using DtRLs and bright clothes … they make not a shits worth of difference to the behaviour and attitude of drivers; what they can become though is an expectation and a mitigating circumstances and used against the cyclist.

An absolute disgrace, and

An absolute disgrace, and (not that there would be any mitigation if it wasn’t) the oncoming traffic lane was completely clear so nothing at all preventing the driver giving her room. Clearly deliberate.
