Saw a near accident today on a different part of the same junction to that where Catronia Patel was killed a couple of years ago by Oval.
This time it was a female cyclist on a commuter bike and a 3.5t box type van. Not sure whether he left hooked her or she'd gone up the inside but either way it was close. A bloke (her boyfriend perhaps) shouted and she'd managed to get onto the pavement in time. She was in the left lane of Camberwell new road heading straight on towards Vauxhall, driver was doing a left down towards clapham.
Just another near miss in the big bad city, but certainly gave me a shock. Think the driver was completely oblivious.
I sometimes think I'm a bit of a wuss for holding back in the traffic at junctions but today reminded me why I do.
