Our final Near Miss of the Day of the year shows a motorist making a very close pass at speed on a cyclist who is heading uphill – moreover, it’s a road marked with double white lines.

Rule 129 of the Highway Code says:

Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

In this case, even if the cyclist is going at that speed, with the road ahead curving of to the left, there’s no way for the motorist to know whether it is indeed clear, and therefore safe to overtake.

Then there’s the fact that the overtake of the cyclist was done at speed, as well as being far too close – close enough that you can see the rider wobble.

Thanks greatly for that excellent compliment.

It really is a very great compliment to be called a boring cunt by YOU.
Especially by YOU.
And I have no fucking interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle, a very convenient delightful economical
viable means of transport.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are the
fuckwitted pits of humanity.
And because it is YOU who think that, that is an extremely great
compliment.
We must be doing something right.

The smartest thing that ever came out of your mouth is a penis.
