BP51XKG close pass at pinch point, Old Ford Road.

After the pinch point I got a bad feeling about the car behind me and decided not to move out to overtake the cyclist in front. Good job as the driver of BP51XKG passed me terrifyingly close and then swerved in to pass the cyclist in front at the next pinch point (speeding too).

I admit to letting out a rude word here which I've dropped this from the video. Both I and the other cyclist overtook the driver at the next lights, I spoke to the cyclist who thought this wasn't that bad given the general poor standard of driving on this road! Reported to Roadsafe of course.

Finally, should mention nice wide passes by the Tower Hamlets white van driver at the start.

Perhaps if they reduced the speed limit to 10mph they might get a clue ?

Selfish, dangerous driver - needs re-educating.

Nasty Merc. I would have lost my cool with that incompetent driver.
