Happened here , Spring Rd, Ipswich (hope the link works!!)
Locals will know that on Spring Road i have just come down a big hill So i'm in a line of traffic sitting in primary all doing 25mph. As the road flattens out the Bus at the head of the que pulls into a bus stop and we all carry on. The cars ahead accelarate to what i assume is 30mph as they aren't going much quicker than me.
The car behind decides the 15m gap in front of me needs filling so overtakes. Now this road at 7.40am has a line of parked cars all the way down so i'm still sitting out of the door zone which means that she cannot see what is coming the other way, it happens to be a transit van.
Fortunatley i hear the car coming so know what's happening and pull over as far as i can giving her room to get through (otherwise i fear i'd have been squished by her hitting me or bouncing off the van into me).
I catch up with her at the traffic lights about 200 yards down the road (don't you always!!) and decided to let her know how stupid that was.
I'm glad to say she was immediatley mouthing 'sorry' so i left it. Hopefully it shook her up enough to be a bit more careful next time!!
Now these camera things......
