I believe the driver of a red Kia Stinger (registration 274-FD6) deliberately passed dangerously close to me, coming within approximately 20 cm of my bicycle. After overtaking, I observed the driver making hand gestures toward me in the rear-view mirror.

I was approaching the roundabout at the intersection of Boundary, Duncan, Redland Bay and Taylor Roads in Thornlands from the Boundary Road approach, intending to turn right onto Redland Bay Road. There was a vehicle in the right-hand lane, and both lanes turn right onto Redland Bay Road. I was riding in the left-hand lane and maintained a speed consistent with the vehicle in the right-hand lane while proceeding through the roundabout.

As I exited the roundabout, the Kia Stinger approached from behind and passed extremely close to me, coming within approximately 20 cm of my body. The manner of the pass appeared deliberate and unsafe.
