Near Miss of the Day 844: Driver insists cyclists who film motorists are asking to be hit “You’re enticing people to hit you, aren’t you,” says close pass driver who was fined £100 cycling
I think quite a lot of bad drivers have dashcam because they are convinced they are excellent drivers. There have been quite a few convictions using drivers' own footage.“This was a particularly unusual punishment pass in that, when I caught up with the driver not long after he was quite happy to explain why he did it, knowing full well that I was filming him,” That Guy on the Bike told us.
“Essentially, his argument was that I was too far out from the kerb and that I was enticing drivers to hit me so I could film them. “He continued to ague his case but once his female passenger chipped in about insurance and road tax I took that as my cue to leave. “I have to say that the Norfolk and Suffolk DashCam team have become excellent,” he added, “so I want to thank them for all their hard work and I’d recommend them to anyone.”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.
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
