On Tuesday, I was passing a long line of parked cars on my way to work. I was going in late, so traffic wasn't ridiculously heavy. Just as I got to the end of the parked cars, this truck passed me within about 12 inches.
On Wednesday I sent an email, giving the Google map reference, the time of day, the registration number, and a link to the YouTube video, and then I rang the company yesterday. I spoke to the Transport Manager, who seemed delighted with the information I gave him. When I told him the registration number, he said that he knew immediately who the driver was, and that action would be taken. The transport manager said he is a cyclist himself and is fed up with being passed too close.
Hopefully a result! I'll post any developments here.
