Very alarming close pass at speed by this Audi Panzer coming much closer to me than to the hard steel double decker on the other side of the road. Lancashire Police will, as always, ignore this offence. Interestingly, this case shows how offending driving runs in families: there’s a very high probability that the female mobile-phone-offending driver of KD10 WER shown in this video: https://upride.cc/incident/kd10wer_porsche_mobilephone/ is related to this Audi Q7 offender. Time on these videos is GMT.
I try to minimise riding on the Pacific Highway, it’s a busy road, but Sunday morning is generally light traffic and plenty of bike traffic so drivers are bit more aware, except for this impatient driver … I was riding pretty much in pace with the traffic which was slowing at the village, I gave a strong hand signal as I moved out and noted this vehicle a bit behind me and enough space for me, but, he then sped up and intentionally close passed hitting his horn as he went past (demonstration of his anger?) … I nearly caught up with him as he quickly caught the slowing traffic ahead but then I got stopped by a red light.
I wouldn’t report this to the Police because, 1. they make reporting an ordeal/discourage it and 2. they wouldn’t do anything anyway.
Excuse the language, scared me …

Despite having plenty of room, the driver opted to pass too close. They decreased the passing distance as they passed, coming well within 3 ft. as the pass is completed. No oncoming traffic to prevent them from making a wider pass.
Driver had to get to the roundabout first, ended up close passing and having to slow down to make the turn.

This happens to me on average once a fortnight at this point and especially at rush hour … this one looked like the kids being rushed to school (also based on erratic driving behaviour for next 1/2 km .. when I then passed her).
Looking at my rear camera, she held back slightly until the crunch point and then pushed forward …

What is there to say?
Basically deserted road, plenty of room to twitch that steering wheel fractionally left, but that’s just too much trouble for some.
I am reporting this infraction as a cyclist. The front and rear facing videos are attached. On 3/9/2025 at 1600 I was passed unsafely while cycling on N. Rampart Range Rd. The offender was driving a black Cadillac Escalade CO Plate: DCA 568 traveling north towards Titan Rd. That vehicle did not allow for 3 feet to my left heading into oncoming traffic. I would also argue that the vehicle was speeding and endangered my life as well as the oncoming vehicular traffic.
