@edscoble @Greenbank

Yes, I meant please don't be potatoed. I didn't think English Heritage had that much of a sense of humour. Or were that quick off the mark.

Bad driving?

Nah, sorry mate I didn't see you walking on the pavement hiding behind a parked car. Where's your helmet and hi viz?

according to that article the car was driving itself. science!

R808 PCF, old red Renault megane, male, cunt, punishment pass

YD63 FFW, cunt, grey bus, squeezed me out of the lane whilst waving at me to move over.

Turning right off Archway Road into Northwood Road on the way home. Hear a distant horn blowing and look behind me to see a van about 200 yards away charging right towards me. I'm waiting for a gap to turn right - van keeps coming, and keeps coming, and keeps coming now leaning on his horn. Swerves around me at about 40mph with maybe 6 inches of space between my left shoulder and his wing mirror.

I shouted "cunt" through his open window and gave him the finger. Kind of hoped he'd stop/come back so we could have words but he didn't. Shame.

Was definitely a commercial vehicle but he went by so fast I didn't catch the livery. Will look out for the dickhead in future though.

Wow! You are the new Dancing James, incident magnet, AICMFP

Not sure about that but there's definitely been a string of dick moves by a lot of people on the roads recently. Getting fucking tired of it. Given my work is now a 10min train trip away versus the faff of cycling I'm very tempted to fuck it off until everyone on the roads calms the fuck down.

2035?

You'll get fat

Yeah, hurry the fuck up Google Cars...

You'll get fatter

ftfy

Can ride how the fuck i want then and google will keep me safe.

I'll be swerving left and right with ghetto blaster blaring.

Just being able to cruise home without some dumb fuck inserting their vehicle into the same space I'm occupying would be a lovely change.

But you occupy so much of it.

I thought you liked that, i'll stop then.

Actually LOLd

Seams killing 6 people wasn't good enough for this fat fuck, he had to get behind the wheel again.

Had a run in with a No75 bus driver this morning. Sent the following email to Stagecoach and TFL.

*Today at about 7.55am I was cycling along Mayow Road in Forest Hill, London in a northerly direction as I do every day when I had an encounter with a Stagecoach operated No.75 bus being driven in a dangerous and inconsiderate manner.

As I was approaching the roundabout on Mayow Road where it meets Dacres Road and Queenswood Road at a distance of 50m – 75m from the roundabout the driver of the bus decided to overtake me leaving less than two feet between the side of the bus and myself. The driver then pulled across in front me and braked sharply as he approached the roundabout. I had to brake hard to avoid colliding with the back of the bus. If the driver had waited about 5 seconds for me to clear the roundabout first my safety would not have been put at risk by needlessly driving in this impatient and dangerous manner.

Shortly after the roundabout the bus driver then pulled into the bus stop outside Forest Hill School (stop W) to allow passengers to board and to get off. As I passed the bus I knocked on the driver’s window to get his attention and said “Thank you” somewhat sarcastically through his open window (I was rather shaken at the time), to which the driver of the bus replied “Fuck off”. He did this in front of passengers, many of which were school children. The driver’s actions during his unnecessary manoeuvre put me in great danger and his retort to me suggests that he has a complete disregard for the safety of more vulnerable road users such as cyclists. I would have thought that Stagecoach would train their drivers appropriately so that such incidents do not occur and that their drivers are aware of the risk they can pose to other road users when driving a vehicle the size of a double decker bus.

I continued to the next bus stop along Mayow Road, just after Inglemere Road and waited for the driver to pull in there for more customers so that I could take a photo of the number plate with my phone as I felt that this incident needed to be reported. As I was taking the photo I noticed the driver had lowered the sun visor in front of his face presumably to hide his face from my camera. He kept it pulled down as he drove off from the bus stop and it was clear that it was obscuring his vision, it appeared to me that he thought that hiding his face from me was more important than being able to clearly see where he was going.

I attach the photo of the bus that I took, the registration number is SN14 TWP. I apologise for the poor quality of the photo; my hands were shaking due to the frightening experience I’d just had. I imagine that the cctv on board the bus will have picked up at least some of these events and would suggest you investigate this further. I also attach a Google Streetview image of the location where the driver chose to overtake me.

I would be very interested to hear what steps you will be taking to address the poor driving and attitude displayed by the Stagecoach employee. His actions reflect very badly on Stagecoach and on TFL by association.
