"Any closer and I'd more than likely be in hospital," was how the road.cc reader who submitted the clip assessed this incident from Ockendon, in Essex..

Tony reported the driver to the police, but heard back that the motorist had only received a warning letter for their close pass.

"Had this happen to me last Friday, 8th April. Was out for an afternoon ride to unwind after work, had already had a few bad passes earlier on but then cycling through Ockendon, Essex, along a fairly quiet road at the time had this van driver pass dangerously close, made worse by the oncoming traffic in the other lane.

"Any closer and I'd more than likely be in hospital right now. Probably saved the driver no more than a few seconds overall. Reported this to Essex Police who felt it warranted nothing more than a pointless warning letter."

Be a shame if someone mentioned that the company who owns the van is Vision Design Projects (visiondesignprojects.com). Would hate for their Google search profile to be associated with dangerous driving.

Was going to tweet the vid at them only to find their twitter account is suspended. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence that they actually care about things like this.

He who hesitates is last.
