Near Miss of the Day 259: Cyclist almost taken out on same roundabout where he was knocked off bike a few months ago

The latest video in our Near Miss of the Day series features a cyclist who is almost taken out by a driver on the same roundabout where he was left seriously injured – and his bike was written off – when another motorist hit him just four months ago.

The roundabout is in Ruislip, West London, and road.cc reader Peter, who shot the footage, told us: “You can see what happens.

“Thing is I was taken out at this roundabout four months ago. At that time I was a bit faster and it destroyed my beloved F10.

“Luckily as I'm with British Cycling their lawyers were great at sorting compensation however broken ribs and ruptured disc in spine took time, just getting back into some level of fitness.

“I bought the Cycliq after that,” he added.

> Near Miss of the Day turns 100 - Why do we do the feature and what have we learnt from it?

Over the years road.cc has reported on literally hundreds of close passes and near misses involving badly driven vehicles from every corner of the country – so many, in fact, that we’ve decided to turn the phenomenon into a regular feature on the site. One day hopefully we will run out of close passes and near misses to report on, but until that happy day arrives, Near Miss of the Day will keep rolling on.

If you’ve caught on camera a close encounter of the uncomfortable kind with another road user that you’d like to share with the wider cycling community please send it to us at info [at] road.cc or send us a message via the road.cc Facebook page.

If the video is on YouTube, please send us a link, if not we can add any footage you supply to our YouTube channel as an unlisted video (so it won't show up on searches).

Please also let us know whether you contacted the police and if so what their reaction was, as well as the reaction of the vehicle operator if it was a bus, lorry or van with company markings etc.
