Video: Irish cyclist lucky to escape uninjured after scary near-miss with driver

This looked like a very scary incident indeed; the cyclist lucky to come through this with nothing more than the fright of his life

This cyclist was very fortunate to come through the incident in the clip below with no injuries.

But judging by the sound of the audio, he was given the fright of his life when a driver in a car overtook him as an oncoming coach approached.

The driver of the car began overtaking, on what was a wet evening, and when the door began to close for his move as the coach got nearer, the driver of the car moved to the left.

This squeezed the cyclist and saw the silver car come very close to him indeed as it past; all as the coach driver reached the same spot on the narrow road.

Thankfully the cyclist stayed upright and there was no crash between any of the road users present.

The coach driver appears to flash his vehicle's lights at the approaching motorist overtaking the cyclist and the driver of the coach also seems to slow right down; thankfully.

When posting the video, the cyclist - who goes on Twitter under the @righttobikeit name - said it was the scariest experience he had had, adding the passing motorist's vehicle touched him.

This was a very close call indeed....
