Bad Bus Driver?
Hi All,
On my cycle home last night I was almost run over by a bus (a private hire vehicle). At the next set of lights I politely aksed him to take more care, he then threatened to run me over. Is this appropriate behaviour for someone driver such a large vehicle?
After numerous such incidents I now wear a helmet cam - so I have a video of the event here: Should I report this or would it be a waste of time? As far as I can see he's done nothing "wrong" as the traffic rules state that he should give a cyclist as much room as he would a car when overtaking, and if he'd only give a car 20-30cm then he's not broken this rule. Unless the threat of running me over is against the law?
