“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.'

He might as well have reported it to the LAPD.

They've got just as much jurisdiction over the locality as West Mercia
Police do.

Love the sea? I dote upon it -- from the beach.
