IDIOT DRIVER DIDN'T EVEN INDICATE.

Yet another driver in our Near Miss of the Day series who ‘Must Get In Front’ – also known as MGIF – of a cyclist, this time as they both turn left on the same corner, and who almost takes out the rider on the apex of the bend.

It happened last summer on Waterloo Road in Southampton, Hampshire as road.cc reader Paul was riding home from work at 6am.

“It was at the junction of Waterloo Road, Southampton UK. While it might not seem so but I did slam on the brakes and my back wheel did skid.

“It was also a lot closer than it looks because of the wide lens. To me the driver simply wanted to get to the turn before me at whatever cost..

“It was reported to the police and I was told that someone will contact me. The operator told me they put it down as dangerous driving.

Oh, well... the *telephone* *operator* (allegedly) said it was dangerous
driving.

What more proof could one possibly require?

That's really crap driving and totally unnecessary too, given how quiet the road was. It's rubbish that the police don't seem to have followed it up.

Not sure what's more frustrating, a police force ignoring perfect evidence of dangerous driving or where Police Scotland have done their best to prevent these crimes from being reported on the first place.
Neither stands up well to any type of scrutiny.

Terrible selfish 'driving' and also no surprise what make of car is parked totally blocking the pavement and pedestrian crossing. I guess they hate pedestrians as much as cyclists.
