V69 HEC can’t make it safely past a bike
Having a quiet cycle in Isleworth – coming up to a pinch point – oncoming driver adamant there is loads of room – I beg to differ…

It was one of those situations where the car is coming at you and shows no signs of slowing, let alone stopping. I thought it would hit me Due to lask of space for both a car and bike to safely pass eachother) so I stayed in primary until it slowed. I then stopped – I really thought she would reverse, but then she tried to squeeze past - the funny thing was she started flapping her arms around and saying there was plenty of room – I didn’t say a word apart from “thank you” – and then proptly started scraping the car along the railings to her left.
Pretty glad I didn’t trust her judgement….
