At 8:55am this morning I was riding in the bike lane on Hill Road, Wentworth Point, in a Southerly direction towards Olympic Park and the white Toyota van, CX14MZ, was driving towards me and waiting in the turn lane to turn right into Baywater Drive. As I approached Baywater Drive, the van driver followed another car turning into Baywater Drive when he should have stopped and given way to me. I took evasive action, locking the brakes and steering into the middle of the road and only missed colliding with the van by millimetres.

My bike is bright green and I have a bright white flashing light on the front of the bike that is clearly visible in daylight. I also ride in an upright position to increase my visibility.
