Awful! There's that moment when you are being passed when you think "he's a bit close!" Then you realise that he's pulling in and the bodywork is getting closer. Then you pull your right shoulder forward to make yourself thinner....and pray that the vehicle isn't much longer as your tarmac narrows towards nothing. Then Fear and Anger.

That is fkg ridiculous. Trust you have reported it? Get it on twitter and tag them. Quickest way to get a response.

 

[toeknee]

Christ that was close, bet that shook you up, as said hope you are reporting it. Terrible......

 

[Falco Frank]

I hope the camera made it look worse than it actually was!

Nice editing BTW, what editing app are you using please?

 

[broadway]

Maybe the driver could do with some training http://www.hingley-transportltd.co.uk/training.php

 

[HarryTheDog]

Shite, I hope you had spare underpants, I would have needed a pair after that.

 

[Sore Thumb]

The thing is I also have a fly 6 rear camera.

Will have to put the footage on you tube as well.

[Sore Thumb]

I have reported it to the company, I have had no response whatsoever.

 

[Sore Thumb]

Maybe someone could do a Twitter link with the vid?

That driver clearly uses his mirrors about as offer as the OP looks behind.

 

[Sore Thumb]

You don't need your mirrors when you are overtaking a cyclist.

How many times do you need to look behind you on a straight road of s few metres.

It's only a short video clip.
