It "sounds" like the coach couldn't move due to the volum of traffic (cyclists) this happens a lot on narrow junctions with cars turning right impeding those going straight on for example. Would the driver of the coach have been sounding is horn at other car in the same circumstances, less likely I would think. He sounds like a self entitled twat who needs to wait to perform his turn, I'd love to be able to scream at every car that stops me In similar circumstances but I don't. But there again I wasn't there

Last week coming up to the first junction s of blackfriars bridge. There is an asz at the lights with me and about 15 other cyclists (its 5pm)
I'm on the left and as I haven't been through this junction before I didnt know that the light goes green to go left before you can go straight ahead. I'm going ahead but the coach behind me needs to go left and gives me a honk. I realise whats going on and move over. But still he keeps honking: he's actually overlapping the central lane and needs more cyclists to move over a bit. Cue a deluge of self righteous abuse. You're in the wrong f-ing lane, someone even shouted 'you're shit' like we were in the school playground. People love 'being in the right' so they can shout rude words in public. Thing is he needs to be out a bit so he doesn't clip the corner, possibly killing any cyclist who is stupid enough to undertake at that point. I didn't work this out until after but I didn't hurl any abuse either. I can see what some motorists moan about. Tossers.
