The guy was interviewed on Radio 4 Today, this morning.

Dude, I told you. The close passing situation is unreal.

"He said at one point, he would only experience a couple of close-passes by car in a year, but this has increased to two or three per journey."

And several 'journeys' a day apparently.

There's CyclingMikey too on Youtube. He catches about two a day. He specialises in people on their phones while driving, because his father was wiped out in such an incident.

Life on the road from a helmet camera. Sometimes interesting, sometimes scary, but almost always fun. I'm a driver too, I love cars, but I don't like dangerous driving and people taking risks with vulnerable road users. Someone has to stand up against the endemic road crime on our public...

Amazed your empty camera case worried enough for that to happen. I bloody well hope all drivers become increasinly worried.

Reflective camera icon prominently ziptied to my seatpost ie PassPixi, didn't have any discernable bad driver suppression effect whatsoever.

PassPixi

Our magnetic patches tell motorists their actions could be recorded using GoPro, Cycliq or other action cameras.

I don't think I'll be attaching it to my new black (previous was silver, more visible in headlights at night) suspension seatpost. If I do, it'll be purely for it's reflective properties, which is all it's good for.

It's unreal. Happens within seconds of my lollipop retracting, so I don't. The extended waggle must be sustained. #viagra eyedrops made me look hard

Before...

After. See it flee. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This was the closest cut in front since - exactly the sort of heavy wheeled driven metal object which would have passed within an inch of my handlebar-end ahead of this traffic island, had it not been for the GuerneySiderating Illumimaker™℠!!! Makes cycling stress free in these increasingly fractious and angry times, as we approach the End Of Days and the encroaching Mad Max universe after the inevitable Acrapalpse.
