What are your emotions after a near miss?

[gaz]

I have a moment of anger which is normally followed by reflection and I then think about what actually happened. It is normally followed by planning what to say to the driver which is usually "Did you even look?" or "Did you see me?". I am not abusive to the person because the adrenaline (cant spell) is still pumping.

I am not an aggressive person in nature, just big mouthed (which is worse).

Don't bother with the planning stage. No point talking to those numpties, never makes anything better and only holds you up from doing more cycling.

Most of the time its momentary annoyance then settle down and carry on as normal, occasionally I'll get very annoyed and take ages to calm down, if I've had a bad near miss I might take time to analyse it and try and work out if I could have prevented it happening.

Today out side my house, cars parked on oppo side of the road, car not reached them as I had and only enough room for a car. Full on and if I hadnt mounted the curb I would have been under their wheels, did they stop? No.

Anger at first, then disbelief and the CC search for helmet cams

Anger usually, followed by relief.

this.

sometimes i try and chase, but only the ones i know i can't ever get to. getting up the strava rankings after nearly being hit is a better outcome than punching a driver
