One of the most typical near misses we see in this series involves a driver overtaking a cyclist at a pinch point where the road narrows – and today’s offering from near Wrexham, north Wales, could not provide a bigger contrast to the one we featured yesterday.

Both involve lorries and traffic islands but while in the video we featured yesterday, the driver went the wrong way around the island – which is of course illegal, but at least did not put the cyclist in danger – today we have a driver ploughing ahead regardless.

The result is a very close pass on the cyclist, who responds with some industrial language – perfectly understandable in the circumstances.

Phil, the road.cc reader who sent the clip in, said: “I actually felt the air displacement as the door mirror passed my head/helmet.”

He was wearing a helmet?

Doesn't that make him a non-person in the fairy-cycling world?

Note that Phil correctly uses the term "door mirror" - it seems my one man crusade on road.cc is working! :-)

But what does "Phil" know?

He's silly enough to wear a helmet, an absolute no-no for fairy-cyclists
expecting to be taken seriously by their peers.

Hasn't he heard that wearing a helmet is more dangerous than not wearing
one?
