I replied "no" to near miss as I don't feel I was at risk of being hit, but my friend and I did encounter an absolutely idiot of a double decker bus driver who refused to wait behind us at a sensible distance until we got through a narrow (one car width) section of road, I have never been so scared on the roads in 16 years of riding.
 
I wasn't in danger of being hit, but on Wednesday a porsche overtook the car who was overtaking my carriage (at approx 60mph in a 30 zone). How he didn't hit the opposite kerb and flip himself over I'll never know.
 
Also done. I ticked near miss for although I Wasn't risk of being hit by the motorbike he didn't slow down and horse spooked, spun around and slipped and landed on me. 4 weeks on and still having treatment on injured shoulder ... Reported to BHS as well.
 
Just done, I've had a few near misses this year on different horses. There was no option to say this. I work as an instructor and hack escort in the riding school, we have so many near misses especially on blind bends with drivers overtaking us, this varies with time day weather and number or horses, never a link bar a driver not thinking. Thankfully due to the quick thinking of oncoming drivers we have not been hit yet.
