Near Miss of the Day 792: National Express bus driver in ultra-close pass on cyclist (includes swearing)

– and according to James, the road.cc reader who sent this clip in, such incidents involving the company’s buses are “unfortunately, an all too frequent event” in Coventry, where he lives.

“I’ve had another two similar incidents recently and have made subject access requests to National Express for the video from the buses,” he told us. Referring to those specific occurrences, he said: “In a few months’ time when the videos of these latest incidents have been published – currently they're private because they've been reported to West Midlands Police – I'll send them along for possible inclusion in Near Miss of the Day.”> 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

Agreed that it's no surprise nationalexpress Coventry bus involved in a close pass. Regular occurrence for me too.
