We've seen a good few videos in our time showing drivers of large vehicles overtaking cyclists then pulling in far too early, and that's exactly what's shown in our latest Near Miss of the Day video.
Not for the first time, the vehicle involved is a London bus, this one operating on route 151 from Shotfield to Worcester Park in the London Borough of Sutton - and complete with a sticker on the rear warning cyclists to stay back.
The footage was shot by road.cc reader Dan, who apologises for the swearing - although in the circumstances, it's perfectly understandable.
The close pass itself is towards the end of the video.
> Near Miss of the Day turns 100 - Why do we do the feature and what have we learnt from it?
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. One day hopefully we will run out of close passes and near misses to report on, but until that happy day arrives, Near Miss of the Day will keep rolling on.
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 info [at] road.cc or send us a message via the road.cc Facebook page.
If the video is on YouTube, please send us a link, if not we can add any footage you supply to our YouTube channel as an unlisted video (so it won't show up on searches).
Please also let us know whether you contacted the police and if so what their reaction was, as well as the reaction of the vehicle operator if it was a bus, lorry or van with company markings etc.

Love this. Hopefully trickle down ecomomics will mean all our clothing will have a lower impact on the environment
