My Saturday ride brought me off the Mendips into Shipham and then down towards Cheddar, I swung right onto the A371 and was heading out of Cheddar towards Axbridge being passed very nicely by cars and vans... until a large Sprinter van with sign writing all over it passed me at speed and with about a foot maybe less gap between me and him. Looking at my video his offside wheels do not cross the white lines. Amazingly, an hour or so later, nearly home I saw the van parked up, but did not stop as I knew I had him on camera. A&S Police have a new web page where you can report close passes and upload video... so I reported the b'stard and uploaded some video. Let's see what happens next.
