Dangerous bus driver at roundabout - LX12DJJ

  • Approaching the roundabout in the primary position, I move over slightly to the left as the lanes are wide enough for traffic continuing on via the roundabout to pass me. Normally I would violate the traffic rules and go across the red and hatched area to make it to the left hand lane of the roundabout faster, but sometimes there is traffic there which has priority.
    This occurred today, requiring me to stay in the right hand lane. This is normally awkward enough, as now I'm a slower bicycle sitting ahead of faster traffic with cars also undertaking me, while trying to merge into the left lane. However, before I even really get to this area, a 314 bus driver decides to overtake me and squeeze me out of the lane in a less standard version of a left hook. No way for me to move further left as at that point I still have a car coming down the lane. Luckily the driver notices me banging on the side of the bus and slows down, allowing me to get out of the way.
    Bus driver apologised, but doesn't even seem to realise what he did until I told him. Cyclists stay back? In this case, bus stay back! Especially since you're going to turn further left into the bus terminal anyway.
    Also, damn you hay fever for making me sneeze all the time.

      As you say, after the incident. That cycle lane also further on requires you to jump off a curb halfway onto a roundabout to join the road again; not really an option. I'm all for cycling lanes, but the infrastructure has to be done properly for it to be useful.

    If you was an alien and came to earth, you would be shocked that cyclists are allowed on major roadways. It’s combining 2 incompatible elements that due to their speed, can never work together. You have situations like this, where a cyclists thinks he has a zone that demands equal rights, but this mind set prevents him from accepting that at times, he needs to slow down.

    How anyone can be braindead enough to think that the cyclist did something wrong here is beyond me. Take a moment to look at the markings on the ground. The red area with the solid white lines mean DO NOT CROSS. It is illegal to cross them. If the cyclist wanted to take the 2nd exit (as shown in the video) then he must stay to the RIGHT side of the red marked area, this is to ensure there is no conflict with traffic turning left, it's essentially a protected zone.
    So, now that you know this, where on earth do you expect the cyclist to go when a bus overtakes then immediately squeezes him out of the lane? Just take one moment and engage your brain, there is nothing but poor, careless driving from the bus driver here. The fact he also had no idea what he'd done is alarming, the fact that you lot despite having clear and re-playable evidence still blame the cyclist, while still being allowed to legally use a car, is even more alarming.
