Another bad one today... cycling
at least comes with the consolation that the offending driver was ultimately fined and saw their record endorsed with three penalty points for this dangerous undertaking manoeuvre.
It happened, road.cc reader Andrew tells us, on Baltic Road in Tonbridge at the point the road narrows to one-way over a steep rise. "I checked behind and the BMW is some way back, as you can see from the initial footage from the seatpost camera," he recalled."I moved into the centre of the lane, standing to get over as quickly as possible, and heard the engine gunning from behind. I thought 'to hell with the driver, I'm not moving over to the left; they can wait until it's safe to overtake'.well within the 1.5m shown by the tramlines.
The driver was reported to Kent Police and following a court hearing Andrew learnt the undertake earned them three points on their licence, a £120 fine, costs of £90 and a victim surcharge of £34.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.
