On my commutes I often find that aside from the odd driver that closely overtakes me, I find more often there are cars that will overtake me, give me a fair bit of room, but there is often something coming the other way, which they cause to brake, or narrowly avoid by a couple of seconds or so.
On Thursday I took different route home because I was heading to my parents. and was on a mainish road (40limit), and get a driver in a 10 plated car (so they've only had it at most 4 months), give me a fairly wide bearth, but passes the car coming the other way with what must be less than a 2 foot gap.
I feel sorry for the drivers coming the other way as I reckon with the frequency I see this happen that one day it won't be such a near miss!
video is here, it's not completely obvious how close it is until the freezeframe, because I turn my head around to look behind.
