Accident London Bridge

swearing this much in a post, is it really needed? when really you don't have much to say as blaming the bus driver, given that there are limited facts, is about as intelligent as blaming a cute boy/girl wearing short shorts for distracting the cyclist who swerved in front of the cat that distracted the motorcyclist who happened to be going at 60+mph....but yes must have been fucking bus drivers fucking fault

Do you know that piece of road well?
I live less than a mile from there and have ridden through it god knows how many times.
The manoeuvre that the bus has clearly carried out, is a common one sadly from that bus stop a driver can either go straight on or pull out into another lane, he has pulled out into the lane next to him, many (although not all) of the drivers pull out of the stop like this on a daily basis often without any indication expecting cars/bikes/whoever to give way to them.
It is extremely dangerous to do this, consider that most traffic is coming into this section from around what is effectively a blind corner, so if they pull out they are simply hoping that whatever comes round that corner is going to stop suddenly and give way to them, it drives me crazy because the amount of times it nearly results in a crash is ridiculous, maybe if they properly penalize this driver all the others will think twice about being performing this stupid move.
Maybe the swearing was excessive, but so is my frustration with this situation, ride down there a few times and you'll see what I mean, the bus driver should not go unpunished for this.
