[Non-Event of the Day 767 starts off with a blatant lie...]

Ah, roundabouts – the bane of every cyclist, from professional to
commuter, as this video of a driver bizarrely attempting to overtake
just before the exit, almost clipping our reader’s front wheel in the
process, shows.

(To offer a counterpoint in defence of roundabouts, they do provide
commentators – I’m looking at you, Carlton Kirby – with plenty to talk
about during long, flat days at grand tours, such as this afternoon’s
interminable Giro stage…)

Anyway, back to Eastbourne, where this impatient motorist passes the
cyclist from behind as they both enter the roundabout. The driver –
seemingly unaware that the cyclist is continuing on in his lane – then
immediately cuts back across him to turn off at the first exit, narrowly
avoiding a collision.

<https://road.cc/content/news/near-miss-day-767-292735>

Mark, the road.cc reader who sent us the footage, says he reported the
driver to the relevant authorities, who issued the motorist with a
cursory advisory letter.

[Perhaps the cyclist should have got a letter?]
