Passing child riding a bike on children’s crossings
2 Feb, 2023 - 3 years ago - on Power Street I was riding along with my kid dropping her off to school, she is visible on the video in front of my bike. SUV decided to pass next to us directly on the childrens crossing that was staffed and flags displayed. She is confident on the bike and this passing did not make her nervous but I still consider it as very bad driving behavour.
I suppose the driver was annoyed that we got in front of the vehicle that can be seen at the start of the clip, in reality the vehicle stopped to let us throught (and another child) but I think the driver did not reaslise that we would continue riding on this local street, I chose to continue rather than introduce more confusion.
