A couple of clips caught on my phones ‘blackbox’ recording app;
The first clip, a mountain biker on the pavement causes a ped to jump out the way and then nearly takes off my wing mirror, whilst I’m distracted and trying to straighten up the van the lorry in front stops sharpish and I have to stand on the brakes.
Second and third clips, the same car in the space of 3 minutes, overtakes a moped into oncoming traffic, then having got her confidence up, passes a cylist with less than 6 inches to spare, on a blind bend. On both overtakes, almost immediately afterwards were nice long stretches with plenty of visibility. 50mph road.
I admit they aren’t going to take your breath away, but you forget how many instances of poor driving you’ve seen when you suddenly realise you have 25 clips of near misses over just a few months. Its only a matter of time before I find I’ve video’d a smash.
