A lesson from a Coach Driver

I don't use the cycle lane here for the reasons described in the video. However, this coach driver felt the need to make the point that he thought I should, by pulling his coach into me. After our wee chat, he makes a 'banker' sign at me (you can just see it on the video) and later he gives me the finger. All with his company name emblazed on his coach. What a nice advert for Allander coaches.

Stop using your camera as an excuse to be a dick!

A bit of dirt and some loose stones are stopping you from using the cycle lane? You may have a fair point about it being poorly designed but in this video there is absolutely no evidence of that, its looks perfectly fine to use to me. You are clearly in the wrong here, you're simply making it harder for other vehicles to use the road purely because you dont like the cleanliness of a cycle lane that was put there for people like you, cyclists.Pause at 0:57 and look how much room you are taking up

b) you could just slow down. If you have enough time in the morning to swear at drivers and follow then for five minutes you could just go slower and not get 'cut up' by drivers. There's a reason why so many people are shouting abuse at you and I agree with them.

I've watched a lot of your videos and you are literally the reason why I hate cyclists. I see so many people like you never using a cycle lane then complaining to people when they get to close for you. Part of the road is designed for you in mind, not any other forms of transport, just you. If you get all scared because there's some pot holes in a cycle lane you could a) complain to your council about it rather than having a go at drivers or...

ive Driven plenty of trucks bigger than that and i can guarentee that if i was driving one of my trucks in that lane next to you to give you that much space i would have to go onto the other side of the road, cyclists need to stay off the road whenever possible, its safer for them anyway... sigh

He does have a point - there IS a cycle lane - again - use it!

[Rachbum7]

Ok 1. you have a cycle lane - use it. And 2. That coach has it's own lane, you have yours ... USE IT YOU TWAT! AND STOP COMPLAINING, YOU WERE IN THE WRONG!!!

Funny how you squeeze through a tiny gap @ 2.33 yet you get all upset when left with a gap you could drive a coach and horses through earlier. Your sort do cyclists no favours at all with your holier than thou vids. You're a prat!

one day you are going to get hurt. and it will be your fault. you have a wife and kids. grow up! your a pathetic role model and a jerk of a person!

he had good distance from you, but yo did nothing after you knew he was on your side, nothing wrong with the busdriver. he did what he needed to do since you blocked the road. guess the cycle lane is a little bit dirty, since cyclists dont use it, like you dont use it. but in this video that lane looked completely nice

[meltonmowbray2003]

The cycle lane looks perfectly acceptable. Mr Cyclist, you are being a COCK. Your arrogant attitude is going to get you seriously injured or killed one day (if you have not been already). Do you want that for yourself? If you do, then please spare a thought for the innocent motorist who has to live with injuring you or killing you for the rest of his/her own life. And all because you are aggressive and want to pass your hatred of motorists on.

For God's sake, grow up!
