I thought a heard a shout as the van passed and it did rather look like deliberate close pass so the odds are it was one of those idiot drivers rather than one of the good ones… and he clearly wasn’t looking where he was going.
I’d like to see him blame that one on the car driver or the cyclist… as no doubt he will try…
+1 on the self-driving cars – maybe a montage of YouTube clips like this could be built into a launch campaign for Google cars once they’re on the market 😀 ‘Travel to work in peace and quiet, catching up on sleep or emails in a Google car… or drive yourself and show the whole world what an idiot you are by crashing into everything in sight?”
