The three close passes shown in today's Near Miss of the Day feature may not be the worst we've seen - but the aggregation of such incidents on a single ride will be familiar to any regular cyclist, and with the perception of the danger posed by some motorists being a major deterrent to getting in the saddle for many would-be riders, makes a strong case not only for safe infrastructure but also stricter enforcement against drivers who put cyclists at risk.

The footage was shot by road.cc reader Sevenfold, who told us: "All three took place between 07:30 and 08:30 on Tuesday 20.04.21 around Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield, and have been reported to West Midlands Police via the Nextbase portal."
