A DRIVER who pulled directly in front of a pedal bike missed the cyclist by less than two metres in Bradford.

A West Yorkshire Police Steerside Officer was patrolling Shipley when they witnessed the car almost hit the cyclist - who had right of way.

The driver claims they "didn’t see the cyclist."

Police say this a totally unacceptable excuse.

The driver was reported.

West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team (@WYP_Steerside) tweeted: A Steerside Officer was patrolling @WYP_Shipley area when they witnessed a car pull directly infront of a cyclist when the cyclist had right of way.

"The car missed the cyclist by less than two metres.

"The driver ‘didn’t see’ the cyclist. This is not acceptable, driver reported."

Is this *really* a complaint about the car not colliding with the
fairy-cycle?

That's how it reads.
