I think you may have some reasonable points to make BCR, and you are at least addressing the question in the first post, but you make them in such an aggressive confrontational manner, which is perhaps why, in your case, you may be spot on with not calling out other cyclists. You do realise that you can call someone on their behaviour without using the word "cunt" or leaving them in a shaking, crying heap. Just saying "mate, you know if that bus had turned left he would never have seen you waiting there" is hardly a call to arms, although I'd never expect to get thanked and would probably expect a snooty "I've cycled for years" response, but the next time they find themselves down the inside of a bus they will think "am I actually safe here".
I would like to hear some of your views on how you think we should help other cyclists do all they can to keep themselves out of danger.
