Incident type: Other

Pick-up couldn’t wait to get to a safer place to pass, would rather squeeze a cyclist

Group ride with 12 experience cyclists – I looked back and saw a dump truck bearing down on us with multiple cars on-coming in a section with limited shoulder. I raised my hand and asked the truck driver to slow down and wait to pass. He knew he was bigger and I would make a great hood ornament… Driver nearly took out 4 on-coming vehicles and then swerved aggressively at our ride leader.

Transport truck passing close with oncoming traffic.

A truck carrying a portable toilet – Not something you see every day 🙂
This overtakes us leaving plenty of space.
But it is immediately followed by a Range Rover pulling a trailer which leaves no space at all.
A less confident rider could have easily ended up under the trailer.

Small group of 6 cyclists travelling along Weston Road (within the village) overtaken by 4×4 vehicle towing a trailer, overtakes said group was close with vehicle but them pulls in and narrowly misses the front cyclist with the trailer.

A Trafford Council licensed taxi with registration DG11 CKF and taxi number P725 close passed me on a blind bend and nearly hit a car pulling out of Dane Bank Road East

Badly judge pass on a roundabout with a boat trailer

e-scooter rider do not care about the the cycling lane rules – “nice time” to observe the summer surroundings ..

On the way back from my Sunday ride, approach roundabout at 20mph, clear sight lines, no traffic ahead, clear right of way, only for an unobservant driver to come onto the roundabout as I cross and run close alongside me. I remember clearly I shouted and relaxed my body waiting for the impact and expecting to be thrown on the splitter island. She mouthed ‘sorry’ as she passed me on the inside!

Waved a golf cart to pass on multimodal path and then the driver cut right in front of me to make a turn. No damage to me.
