“Some drivers are just arseholes” is one of the subtitles that a road.cc reader gave this video of him getting a close pass from a van driver in Willenhall near Walsall.

Brendon, the road.cc reader who was on the receiving end of the close pass and took the footage told us: “It was 1st March and I’d decided today was the day to go into the office for the first time in 2022.

“It was a beautiful morning, and for the most part the ride was glorious as I rode from Warwick to Binley Woods (edge of Coventry).

“The roads were relatively quiet but as I went through a tight bridge in Willenhall a white van man must have got annoyed at the few seconds he had lost behind me and drove past me really close …. so much so that it caused me to wobble.
“I’ve reported the close pass to West Mercia Police via the Nextbase upload service, but have not heard any other feedback,” he added.'

Does the territory of West Mercia Police really stretch as far east as
Warwick and east Coventry?

I think you've got the wrong Willenhall. The one in the video is near Coventry, not Walsall.

QUITE SO.

It is easy to get into the mindset that bad driving is directed at cyclists, but just to make you realise that bad drivers are intolerant of everyone and everyone, take a look through these clips:

I couldn't face watching to the end - though the Honda Jazz driver who blows a fuse at being flashed for a dangerous roundabout pass and spends 5 minutes brake testing the guy who spends the same amount of time flashing his lights winding the guy up further might feel reminiscent of what happens when we moan about a close pass - if you are in such a hurry, why is there so much time to spend trying to get rear-ended?

It's not quite been 14 days, so still time for a NIP to be issued. I would call 101 and ask for a case update. Ask them directly if a NIP has been sent out.

In an ideal world, every submission would be scrutinised and acted on. But the reality is 'he who shouts loudest is heard'. So shout!

There are more ways of killing a cat than choking her with cream.
