Close shave

and not just the legs!

This was the other morning - contacted the company and will await their "investigation" results!
I always check before this corner and try to take a slighty wider route - the road is also in pretty bad shape.

What I would do differently -
Look behind more, take a stronger position on approach to the corner and signal to drivers behind that it is not safe to overtake.

I say this, because I think the most valuable thing most videos provide is the ability to see where we ourselves can improve. This of course doesn't take anything away from the poor overtake by the driver.

Do you think middle of the road is appropriate on a corner like this?
Also - how would you signal it is not safe?
Cheers for the comments though Gaz - i do appreciate anything that will mean I get to work and back safer!!!!

Middle of the lane, if it is not safe for them to overtake, then yes.

I would put my right arm out and push my hand back and forth backwards.
