Incident type: Close pass/Bad driving
Any incident where a vehicle moves in close proximity to a cyclist. Intentional or otherwise.
Driver of Mini just pulled out almost colliding with me. So close I could bang on the roof. Driver was oblivious to me as when I
followed them and confronted them , the explanation was the standard “sorry I didnt see you”. Advised them if they cant see, then they shouldn’t be driving.
Close pass from brainless driver who immediately hit traffic.
Cyclist forced to merge into vehicle traffic because bike lane blocked by parked construction vehicles. Impatient Mercedes driver accelerates and makes extremely close pass, only to be stuck at red light within seconds.
Was riding on beach road when this guy arriving from Warrigal did not respect the stop and pass just behind. Very scary and the guy stopped 200m later staying on the side of his van, clearly proud of himself.
Cycling eastbound on the Panorama Road loop in Sandbanks and reaching the sharp turn onto Banks Road, a black Range Rover decided to overtake at that point and narrowly missed hitting me.
Two lane road approaching a pedestrian island and crosswalk. Bike lane begins AFTER the island. White pickup approaches from rear (it seems) quicker than 35 mph speed limit. Does not pause and squeezes through by end of island.
In Lancashire, the driving schools even train new drivers to remain within the left lane while overtaking a cyclist at this black spot for the offence: approaching the crest of a hill followed by a right-hand bend. Green Pass Training claims on its website: “All Green Pass assessors have to go through vigorous internal training lasting 6 months, once this is completed our driving assessors are subject to a further half a day training every 6 months conducted by ex-traffic police this gives the directors of Green Pass the confidence that all our assessors will deliver our training to the highest possible standards”. The problem there is that Lancashire Constabulary does not believe that it’s ever possible to pass too closely to a cyclist, and has never conducted ‘a close pass operation’. The police will ignore this case.
Tried to overtake me on the roundabout then got up close and personal 5 metres after getting on the A431 to Bitton
