Almost hit head on at roughly 65mph

@Custom24 yeah managed to pause the footage and get the registration, 'L660 AJU'

These are the ones I find the scariest - I've had two that spring to mind, one coming towards a roundabout in France (driver acknowledged his mistake by his expression when he saw me after his idiotic manoeuvre), and one on the A30 in Somerset - combined speed would have been about 85mph, and left about 2ft spare as I veered towards the side of the road. If I see someone overtaking towards me, and have time, I'll indicate/point right while staying over to the left, in the hope it might make me more visible to the idiotic/careless overtaker.

yowzer!

Please send that one on to the police Steve. That was scary.

Worth speaking to the police about.

 

[slowmotion]

I'm full of admiration for your sang froid. I would have been a gibbering wreck collapsed on the verge if it had been me.

 

[Big Nick]

I'd make a complaint re his driving to the police mate as that is scary driving

 

[AndyWilliams]

Close, scary. I take it the sun wasn't obscuring his view of you, which would make his driving even more worrying and dangerous.

I see your roads are as good as ours, potholes badly filled in and white lines that haven't been painted in a decade. Unfortunately this type of incident is all too common had a couple myself not unlike it.

I get that on my commute, twice last week in fact, first gave me the v's as I ducked into the gutter to save myself the second the hands up apology as if that helps calm you down from a near death experience.
Starting to think a spare bottle filled with old fish water to spray at them or a handful of stones may tempt them to not do it again.

 

[mcshroom]

Camera would be better. If they are driving straight at you then there's no time to be throwing stones etc. Get them on camera and report them.

 

[Stevie Lake]

Yeah think it's a trip to the police with it and @Dragonwight the roads are pretty terrible can't get a smooth ride in a lot of places

What a complete backside not only did he nearly kill you. Doubt he even seen you and if he did to late he could have even killed the people in the other car too. Simply no need for it. And he should be far more aware behind the wheel.

The canute was wearing a hi-vis gilet as well. Get this footage to your local plod who will probably do nothing.

Any one done a check to see if the car has insurance, MOT and tax?

Your experience was strikingly similar to this one although the cyclist Mark Robinson was killed out right as he was driven into head on at 70mph by complete w****r Matthew Rice.

Mot and tax yes. I have not checked insurance.
