Just reported a bus driver to TFL. Never officially complained before so not to sure how long it takes for anything to happen. Cycling up cambridge heath road, stopped at some lights just before the sainsburys, where there is a bus stop just after the junction. Driver pulled around me at a set of red lights, then as the lights changed and we both set off, he took a second to draw level with me, then horned and pulled right across me to dive into the bus stop, was forced off the road basically. so so unnecessary, since he could see the bus stop and could have just waited behind me in the left lane for literally seconds, just seemed so deliberate and malicious, as if he was proving a point, compared to the dangerous but unthinking stupidity you encounter day to day.
i cycled up to the next bus stop and waited for the bus and asked for his licence number or reference or anything, wouldn't give any details. so i took note of the bus stop, time, route and licence plate.
wish i could have remembered what he looked like more but when the anger/adrenaline subsided and I was writing the complaint I realised I couldn't really remember which was annoying.
