Cycling near miss on a descent near Wantage, UK. First time in a while I’ve felt genuinely shaken for a car overtake – this car overtook with no more than a couple of feet of room at high speed, could have turned out very differently.
Is there anything I can do?

yes and no. First thing though you will have to remove this video from social media (I believe alot of police forces in UK require this). Your response will vary – i posted 3 reports and got 1 reply back that a letter had been sent.
100% report it if you can see the plates. I feel bad for you mate, being close passed sucks so bad!
Yes, report to the police
Yes, need educating
Yes, definitely report!
Absolutely report, shouldn’t take much of your time and will be worth it if anything happens. I also cycle in this area and would appreciate less shitty driving!
Yes definitely. I’m almost certain they didn’t try to harm you, but a police warning will hopefully educate them about how dangerous that was and how thier driving needs improvement.
It’s nearly always ignorance, rarely mailce.
Yes, get it off youtube, it’ll go back on there soon enough 😉

There’s the link, nice and easy and this is a slam dunk.
This fuckwit also has a constant history of driving on bald tyres so it’s only a matter of time before they can’t stop in the wet and kill someone’s kid.
