A positive ending for our latest Near Miss of the Day clip, with this video being reported to the police and resulting in a fixed penalty notice and the driver being sent on an improvement course.
road.cc reader Stuart was riding out of Stourport-on-Severn along the A4025 Worcester Road when a driver of a red Audi sped past, despite oncoming traffic preventing them executing a safe pass.
Stuart reported the driver to the police, and was told they had received a fixed penalty notice and would be sent on an improvement course. A different story to yesterday’s near miss…
> Near Miss of the Day 763: “Driving isn’t poor enough” according to police
Two fairly textbook safe passes follow in the footage, before another rushed overtake with another vehicle coming the other way. Only the Audi driver was reported.
> Near Miss of the Day turns 100 – Why do we do the feature and what have we learnt from it?
Over the years road.cc has reported on literally hundreds of close passes and near misses involving badly driven vehicles from every corner of the country – so many, in fact, that we’ve decided to turn the phenomenon into a regular feature on the site. One day hopefully we will run out of close passes and near misses to report on, but until that happy day arrives, Near Miss of the Day will keep rolling on.
If you’ve caught on camera a close encounter of the uncomfortable kind with another road user that you’d like to share with the wider cycling community please send it to us at info [at] road.cc or send us a message via the road.cc Facebook page.
If the video is on YouTube, please send us a link, if not we can add any footage you supply to our YouTube channel as an unlisted video (so it won’t show up on searches).
Please also let us know whether you contacted the police and if so what their reaction was, as well as the reaction of the vehicle operator if it was a bus, lorry or van with company markings etc.
