“That’s really close – I could have touched that!” was the reaction of a
cyclist who was subjected to a very close overtake last week in Norwich.
However, police only issued the driver with a warning letter, and the
rider is now calling on other cyclists to share with him their
experience of submitting footage to the force.

Why does society brush off such dangerous behaviour as an every day event?
I am sure the driver did not think (S)he was putting the victim in danger but that just reinforces the point.
If space aliens ever visit our planet they will think cars are the dominant life form rather than Cats.

Because it's an everyday event with no consequences for either side?
