Close Pass / Bad Driving

1 Jul, 2020 - 6 years ago - on A591

Driver of the 2nd passing vehicle did not observe oncoming traffic (on a straight road and in excellent visibility) as they just blindly followed the 1st passing vehicle to overtake me.
When they did notice the oncoming traffic - a large van based pick up with trailer - the swerved towards me and missed me / the front of my bike by cm's and ran across the road edge markings in front of me.
Presumably they realised I was there as they initially moved out to pass me. You can see by the trajectory change in their vehicle that they move in towards me and it is an extremely close call.
Reported to the Police.
