This is the shocking moment a cyclist was given a nasty surprise when a driver appeared to swerve towards her.<br /><br />Caro Vilain, 31, was on her morning cycle commute in Santa Monica, California, USA, when the incident happened. <br /><br />A video, recorded by her headcam, shows Caro arriving at a junction where she has right of way.<br /><br />The motorist on her right stops and as Caro cycles past him, he starts to drive forward and swerves in her direction.<br /><br />Caro, who works as a video editor in Santa Monica, said: "I was just doing my own thing, being safe and following the rules.<br /><br />"He clearly didn't like that he had to slow down and follow the rules himself.<br /><br />"It was very scary. Drivers tend to be aggressive here but this is one of the worst I've experienced.<br /><br />"On the camera you can see behind me but in real time I had no idea if he was still driving after me or not.”<br /><br />Caro reported the incident to the police.<br /><br />She said: "Our police department aren't very helpful in terms of cycling incidents so I had to insist.<br /><br />"If anything ever happens again with him, they have it on record, assuming someone reports him again."<br /><br />Caro believes that the problems cyclists face on the roads is down to a combination of factors, including education and infrastructure.<br /><br />She said: "Drivers are aware there is no enforcement when it comes to the police, so they approach us with little care.<br /><br />"Also infrastructure has lead to people thinking roads are just for cars, but they’re not.<br /><br />"People just assume bikes shouldn’t be there, but we both have a right to be on the road!"
