Near Miss of the Day 827: Bus driver “bullies his way into a gap that was never there”. Our regular series featuring close passes from around the country - today it's Greater Manchester cycling
We’d guess most people reading this have been on the receiving end of a similar close pass – one in which a bus driver simply has to get past a cyclist, and then squeezes them into the kerb. And we don’t need to tell you how scary it is to be to have been on the wrong end of one of these.
“You'll see the Vision bus bullying his way into a gap that was never there. As soon as oncoming traffic approached the driver just squeezed me into the kerb instead of backing off. “I'm having run-ins all the time, that’s why I got the GoPro. Normally I’m swearing like a trooper because i can see what’s happening, on this bus one it was so tight I was just in concentration mode.
No further action was taken in relation to this matter as the Dashcam footage does not clearly show the registration number of the Bus.
