Cyclist slams claim that driver mounted verge to avoid crash
Cyclist slams undertaking motorist’s “utter bollocks” claim that he mounted grass verge “in panic” to avoid colliding with car
“I have cycled that road many times,” cyclist Gibson tells road.cc. “I remember the incident like it was yesterday. I could hear a strange noise just before the driver undertook me and missed me – God knows how! When I saw the video I was like, Jesus, I’m lucky to be alive.” “To say he made the manoeuvre to avoid colliding with the vehicle safely overtaking me is a lie. It would be interesting to know if the judge watched the video.”

Due to risk compensation, it is almost inevitable that crashes increase with safety systems that just protect the driver, and it would certainly be useful to see the collision figures.I think it is since lockdown, but I now expect to see crazy stunts on any journey I make.
The latter I think, Ms Gibson saying that as a former serviceperson she knows that he would get extra sanctions from his emplyers, though unfortunately"Turner, who has recently moved to Devon after joining the British Army" implies that he joined up post-incident and so wouldn't get what he so richly deserves.Possibly. Though I would imagine that he needed to declare an upcoming court appearance as a serving soldier regardless of when the offence was committed.Utterly wild driving.
