You are a good driver . A rarity these days

Can't believe people regard an amateur road user - a cyclist - running a red light (which I agree he shouldn't do) as if it were equally serious, or more serious, than a professional PCV driver deliberately driving a double decker bus at a vulnerable road user. Jumping the red light is an offence which, quite rightly, isn't going to be prosecuted or pursued because police and prosecuters have better things to do with their day. But the bus driver's conduct ought to be regarded by his employer as gross misconduct. I don't know about anyone else, but the language alone that the bus driver uses would be enough to get me sacked.

Well said Phil

I can't believe how many comments here are defending the bus driver. He deliberately steered his 6 tonne bus towards the kerb and would have pushed this cyclist off his bike and possibly under the rear wheels of the bus almost certainly killing him, if the cyclist hadn't 'bunny hopped' on to the pavement. Why did the bus driver do this? If you stop the video at 2:03 you see a black SUV, which is blocking the outside lane and for the bus driver to get to the back of queue at the next set of lights 100 yards ahead, as soon as possible, he needs to occupy the full width of the inner lane. The bus is 'out of service' carrying no passengers and the driver isn't stopping to pick up passengers either. He is simply bullying the cyclist out of the way, because he wants to occupy that lane to get to the lights asap, where the cyclist will pass him again anyway! There are also no other cyclists behind J W (watch the video from 2:10 when the bus stops and you'll see the next cyclist passes at 2:30), so our bus driver could have safely moved into the inside lane immediately behind J W delaying his urgent appointment with the back of the queue by only a couple of seconds. Some comments claim J W passed a red light at 1:23 as the lights didn't change until 1:25. If you stop the video at 1:20 as J W approaches the lights you can see there are two vehicles illegally occupying the bike box. J W slows down and moves to the safest position just ahead of these two cars on the left of the road, so as not to unnecessarily obstruct them. Before he comes to a complete stop the lights change and so he accelerates away. Cyclists do kill pedestrians (about 3 per year), but to my knowledge no cyclist has ever managed to kill a driver as they are protected by a metal box, seat belts and air bags. Drivers on the other hand kill about 1800 people a year twitter.com/i/status/1148622845695557632 So please stop this nonsense about cyclists endangering other road users, unless a pedestrian is involved. I appreciate that drivers are frustrated when cyclists make faster progress in traffic than they do and that cyclists can sometimes delay them, but most of the congestion is due to all the larger vehicles, not the cyclists. If you're a bus driver you have to drive a bus, but for those driving themselves the solution is simple. Use a bicycle rather than a car and your journey will be quicker, cheaper, healthier and a lot less frustrating!

I drive commercial trucks in America, if they know how to drive over there too they know you should always be checking your mirrors, and your responsibility isn’t to enforce traffic laws by trying to kill cyclists. It’s to protect your vehicle and prevent accidents from happening in the first place. Police would eventually talk to the cyclist, not your job. Never your job to enforce traffic laws, just adapt to the conditions and drive accordingly with safety as the priority.

In fairness though, as a cyclist, if he had not run the red light at the previous intersection then he would have never been in that position in the first place. Secondly, reading the road ahead is vital, no matter what transport you use. I was anxious the second I saw the bus stop ahead.... had I been in that situation I would never attempt any pass on the inside, preferring instead to drop back behind a bus until I know whether it is about to pull into the stop or no.

I hope you reported him. That man needs an anger management course. His language and ability to handle a situation is disgusting.

In that instance of the bus cutting in on the cyclist the driver broke the rules. For the driver cursing and swearing in public on the job is also a big no no. I am a professional driver driving large vehicles "Busses, Coaches, HGV's" and instructed on them also. What the driver did was wrong and would be close to losing his job if shown to his superiors.

That was deliberate, no argument against that.

What are the squiggly white lines in the pavement for? 2. does the blue paint in the bicycle lane get slippery when it is raining? 3. what were those buttons that you pushed on the side of the bus and why did you push them? 4. Did you take your video to the police and report that wanker?

The squiggly lines mean a vehicle cannot stop there, specifically when in traffic. Those areas are to be kept clear.

Zigzags signify pedestrian crossing hazard. You cannot obstruct/park on them and cannot perform an overtake. The blue paint isn't too bad, it's also sometimes mixed with extra grippy material. White lines are more slippery. Emergency door open. I think he thought it was emergency engine stop. 4. I'd have reported it. Bus driver performed an overtake when it was unsafe to do so. He has a duty of care to vulnerable road users.

I am a motorbiker and People keep saying in the comments the road cycle ran a red light he did NOT he got to a set of traffic lights as they changed from red to flashing yellow wich you can clearly see on the oposit side of the road!!!!!! Plus the bus lane can now be used by motor bikes and road cycles as the law change a while back the bus driver was an idiot and needs a refresh on road law he also should be diciplined at least as he could have killed the biker.The cycle/motorbike/ bus lane has also been painted a nice blue with white cycles bus lane all over it so you can not miss it.

Jimi Banz breaking the law is never legal. Wrong side of the road never safe or legal. Failing to stop at a red light never safe or legal. Cyclists get hit and killed and then laws get changed to keep them safe. Unfortunately too many idiot cyclists think they are the only ones who have the right to the road. I’m not defending the actions of the bus driver who was clearly in the wrong for his actions but if the cyclist wishes to pick and choose which laws should apply to him then he has no right to abuse other road users when they behave as inconsiderate as he does.

He did cut the cyclist off. It's dangerous, against the rules and shouldn't have done that.

That street is such a design error. A bus lane is made so buses aren't hindered by traffic and they can reach their stops in time. A cycle lane is made so cyclists don't get mixed in with larger mass and speed of vehicles, reducing the amount of (deadly) incidents and increasing the attractiveness to choosing cycling over the car/public transit. These two should never interfere with each other unless it's a bus stop, in which case it should have extra attention to markings so both sides know what to do.

I take it you reported the prick to the police and had him sacked?

The problem here seems to stem from the fact that the bus driver doesn’t seem to recognise that the cyclist is legally entitled to cycle on carriageway. If any road user is found guilty of a road traffic offence, they should be made to resit their driving exam and test or take a cycling proficiency exam/test before they are allowed back on the Queen’s highways. Road users, don’t die ( or become a killer) through ignorance.

@@jeffreyfearn5662 Not at all, completely different scenarios. If it's not on a junction where the cyclist actually crosses another lane the dangers of red light jumping by cyclists are minimal. It's effectively no less dangerous than if somebody is walking on a pavement by the side of the road. A totally different matter if the cyclist actually crosses a lane of traffic like he would have had to had this been a 4 way junction... In which case I'd agree with his actions being reckless. In the example in this video the bus driver overtakes and then merges into the cyclist forcing him onto the pavement. There is clearly one person at fault, the bus driver.

i drive buses for a living in Australia, I've got to say the more you make a cyclist feel unsafe, the more the government spends your money (taxes) to make them feel safe, and make your life even harder to get around.

The comments are insane on this video. Why are people even defending the bus driver? The cyclist was run off the road in the cycle lane and all you mfers can talk about is how the bicyclist ran a red light beforehand. If he was in a car outside the bus and cycle lane and he was ran off the road, it would clearly be the fault of the person who ran them off the road. You car-brain mfers just can't fathom a driver being at fault for the risks faced by the cyclist. Double-standards.

The bus driver passes with less than 3 feet clearance between himself and the cyclist then cuts over before fully passing the cyclist; a cut and dry case of running him off the road and the bus driver ignoring the presence of the cycle lane. Some people here are claiming the cyclist ran a red light just before, when in fact the cyclist was coming to a stop when the lights started changing so he proceeded. Even if you believe he ran the light, that isn't relevant to the fact that the bus driver nearly killed the cyclist.

Bus driver wasn't too clever, but the protestations would sound a little better if the cyclist hadn't jumped a red light at 1:24 himself.
