Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel. Today, I want to break down a truly alarming near miss caught on camera and sent in by one of my viewers. As a cyclist myself, safety on the road is always a top priority, but unfortunately, not everyone shares that mindset.
In the footage we're about to see, which was also sent to the police, you'll witness a motorist making a right turn at a junction without properly checking for other road users or pedestrians. The cyclist, who had the right of way, was just inches away from being struck by the vehicle. It's a heart-stopping moment that serves as a reminder of the dangers cyclists face daily.
The driving was frankly appalling and I make that point very strongly in the video. I also lay out exactly what action I think is appropriate in these circumstances.
But what actually happened in this case?
Well, I'm disappointed to report that despite the clear evidence provided, the police decided not to take action against the motorist. This is a frustrating reality for cyclists who often feel neglected regarding road safety enforcement.
I honestly believe that the police are failing us as cyclists and road users.
It's incidents like these that highlight the need for stricter laws and better enforcement to protect vulnerable road users. So, let's continue to advocate for safer roads and hold accountable those who endanger others through careless driving.
Stay safe out there, and until next time, ride defensively and always stay vigilant.
Thanks for watching.
