The video that features in our Near Miss of the Day series today shows
one of those heart-stopping moments that, as a cyclist, you have no
control over and just have to hope for the best, as a driver on the
wrong side of the road as they overtake another car at speed heads
straight towards a rider in North London.

Fortunately, the motorist didn’t hit Danny, the road.cc reader who sent
us the clip of the incident on Hornsey Road, close to Arsenal FC’s
Emirates Stadium – but it was pretty damn close.

“The impatient driver decided that the fact that a cyclist was coming
from the opposite direction did not prevent him from overtaking,” Danny
said.

I wasn't able to read the vehicle registration number, so unfortunately
no action made,” he added.
