i was thinking much the same... if i classed that as a near miss... I'd have more cameras than Traffic Droid and more youtube videos than someone with a very large number of youtube videos
I've had arctics pass me closer than this before. That was butt clenching. Did have a guy yesterday give me loads of room and slowed down. He had a bike rack on the roof :smile: shame he didn't allow me to draft his car head wind coming home was a killer lol
 
....not that close.

As I said on Road.cc what you might see as far away might not be so far due to the wideangle lens. (I know this from many years of using these cameras). Different riders also have different tolerances to proximity.... lest we forget rules 163 and 167 and why they are important...

The Rules only go up to 93! Unless there's some really neat kvlt set that I'm not cool enough to know about. It's probably that :sad:

That particular cyclist is too touchy in my opinion. I wouldn't have batted an eyelid at that pass.

However, I'm glad he did on this occasion, 'cause it's a great video.
