Near Miss of the Day 798: “I really got a fright,” says cyclist after very close pass cycling
A road.cc reader who was on the receiving end of a very close pass in Glasgow says he “really got a fright” as a result of the incident.
Scott was riding along Cambuslang Road in the south east of Scotland’s largest city when the driver of a BMW shot past, “inches from hitting me.” It’s worth bearing in mind that he had his camera positioned on the left hand side of his handlebars, so the distance the driver left is far closer than it may appear from the video.> 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
