Near Miss of the Day 811: Van driver pushes cyclist against kerb cycling
as a reader from Northern Ireland got in touch with this footage of a van driver pulling out on them, pushing the rider against the kerb to the point where their pedal struck the footpath and they unclipped to avoid a fall.
> Near Miss of the Day 810: Reckless overtake towards oncoming cyclist and bus… and some afters from the impatient driver "A car had just overtaken me beforehand," he recalled."The van moved out immediately after the pass. It seemed as if he hadn't observed me, or just simply ignored my presence and subsequent right of way.
"I was able to unclip my left foot quickly and pull up to a complete stop. Had I not done so, I would have, most certainly, fallen onto the footpath. I was able to avoid contact with the van, as I determined in the moment that the footpath was the safest option, rather than under the wheels of the van or trailer.
