A dramatic video has emerged of a cyclist being hit by a car in Port Talbot, Wales, UK.

The footage, shot with a helmet mounted camera, captures the moment the driver hit the cyclist with their wing mirror, throwing him off his bike.

"As I was going round the roundabout a car was exiting the M4 motorway down the slip road," the cyclist wrote online.

"The driver failed to stop and give way at the roundabout and almost wiped me out."

I was enjoying a couple of days off work so I decided to go for a little bike ride in the countryside not to far from my home and do some geocaching as it was a beautiful summers day, but as you can see in the video I almost didn't make it, As I was going round the roundabout a car was exiting the M4 motorway down the slip road travelling at around 50 mph and the female driver failed to stop and give way at the roundabout and almost wiped me out, because she was not looking where she was going her head was down and she was playing with something in the car, over the years I've learnt at junctions not to take my eyes off the driver till I see them slow down or stop which paid off that day, luckily for me as it could have been fatal the speed she was traveling at, but after a few choice words thrown at her I took it in my stride carried on with my journey and racked up 16 more geocaches, so it wasn't all bad lol
