326RRA – White Hyundai iMax getting on the horn while crossing Louisa creek along Woolcock Street.
Postman showing complete disregard for cyclists
With 8 bikes split into two groups, 3 car drivers overtake the lead group safely. Two van drivers then overtake the rear group, the driver of the orange van spots the oncoming truck and pulls into the gap, but the driver of the white van continues to overtake, forcing the oncoming truck to take avoiding action.
Unacceptable, unprofessional, unsafe, and unlawful.
Despite being less than 100m to the turning he was taking, this van driver simply had to pass me. He then braked due to oncoming traffic, forcing me to brake hard too so I didn’t run into the back of the van. I saw a ramp onto the adjacent pavement and took that to avoid any further risk of collision. The vehicle had an expired test certificate [MOT] This was reported to the local police who have as seems usual failed to take any action.
White van overtakes too near a road bollard, and drives on wrong side of road, close to oncoming car.
