A video showing a truck pass just centimetres from a cyclist has led to calls for Victoria to introduce safe passing laws to protect cyclists on the road.

Sandringham man Craig Gibbens, 38, was last week cycling along Boundary Road in Dromana, south of Melbourne, when his front and rear cameras captured a truck fly past him, just centimetres from his handle bars.

"I was riding along the road and sticking in the bike lane and then there were plenty of cars that had given me wide berth that had passed me before that," Mr Gibbens said.

"All of a sudden I hear, obviously the noise of the truck is quite loud, and I heard that flying up behind me and then when it passed so close to me it gave me a mighty fright, that's for sure.

"I was shaken up by it, initially I thought 'how close was that to death?'"

Mr Gibbens said he was so rattled by the near-miss that he pulled his bike over and made note of the time of the incident. He then returned home to download the video of the incident from his bike's cameras.

"When I got home and actually reviewed the vision myself and put it in slo-mo and saw just how close it was, I'm so lucky to be alive."

Mr Gibbens, who said he was riding with a red flashing light on the back of his bike, estimated that the truck passed less than 10 centimetres from his right hand.

"It just makes you think, you just get really angry that it happened because there wasn't any need for it," Mr Gibbens said.

"That was way too close, I definitely believe it was deliberate seeing as there were no other cars on the road."

Mr Gibbens made a statement to Rosebud police, who later told him that they interviewed the driver captured in the video but would not be fining or charging him.

A spokesperson for Victoria Police said: "Members identified the truck driver involved and investigated the matter. No offence was detected and the complainant was advised of this outcome."

Phoebe Dunn, from the Amy Gillett Foundation, said the "shocking" incident highlighted the need for safe passing laws in Victoria, with current laws only requiring motorists to leave a sufficient distance when overtaking cyclists.

The foundation's A Metre Matters campaign calls for uniform safe passing laws around the country.

"A metre matters because it provides a clear, practical measurement for drivers when overtaking bike riders," Ms Dunn said.

"It changes a subjective, nebulous test into an objective measurable distance of one metre in speed zones up to and include 60km per hour and 1.5 metres in speed zones over 60km per hour."

Ms Dunn said that an evaluation of a trial of safe passing laws in Queensland showed the laws worked, with over 88 per cent of drivers observed to give at least a metre in speeds zones up to 60 kilometres per hour.
