Near Miss of the Day 333: A close pass compilation

Today’s video in our Near Miss of the Day series shows a compilation of “daft driving, close passes and other stupidity” seen in and around Royston, Hertfordshire by road.cc reader John.

He recorded the footage in recent months on his Fly6 and Fly12 cameras this year and provides some commentary – including the warning that “one clip does include a naughty word.”

John added: “Literally nothing that drivers do around cyclists surprises me any more, though I'm sure that things got a lot nastier after that wretched Cyclists – Scourge Of The Streets? documentary back in the summer.”

> 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.
