WIF516 Falcon - Impact with cyclist

While indicating the intention to go around a parked car, the passing car drove so close that the mirror impacted the hand of the cyclist...

It is clear that there is a parked car ahead, and was NOT a sudden change by the cyclist.

The older male driver should be made to have a driving test!

More Killer Buses - Anzac Highway

This is another example of a poor road surface, combined with killer buses, that will cause injury or death to a cyclist.

Note that as the bus leans to the left when stopping (from the camber of the road) the rear of the bus 'crabs' and is closer to the kerb than the front.
