The bus drivers in Swindon are excellent, I rarely have any problems.
I think some of them recognise me, I'm very easy to spot.
I do my best not to get in the way, easing off to let them overtake easier and not overtaking them if I know they are going to pull away very soon.
Some of them have even given me the thumbs up for recording car drivers in the bus lane.

@CyclingMikey as you can see with my post's i haven't made one bad word or took the piss in any way what so ever. yeah i like watching the vids and it is good to be shown that there is bad driving out there.

Bus driving like that is rare round here. I used to pull over and let buses pass if I knew one was behind me. They where effing lethal.

@CyclingMikey That's a decent commute,and gives a good idea of how good the average driver is, especially the bus drivers, not that I am that surprised,in the UK I was a Postman on a bike for a while,and did a bit of cycling in my spare time too,from Doncaster through Sheffield to Castleton was a favourite and would say most drivers were good .I have only ridden once a week, on a Saturday or Sunday for last 6 months,I usually do about 50 miles and about 8 of that is on a fenced off cycle path

Text book driving & overtake.This video should be shown in all driving schools!
Not all drivers are prats as shown in this video but with your other videos you make a point of showing just bad stuff rather then the good, just like the press do.

@Mickygemma It's the bad stuff that most people want to change, and it's the bad driving that's usually interesting. Good driving is almost invariably boring to watch.

@Mickygemma p.s. You obviously like the bad driving vids enough to subscribe. ;)
p.p.s. at least one of the other cyclists from this area who also films, happens to carry a warrant card too.

Nice, some drivers make it look so easy, and in a bus, legend!

@TheVexatiousLitigant Almost all bus drivers are like this one on my commute. I have a long 43 mile round trip to the West End, and it should be very evident how few buses appear on my youtube channel despite me encountering at least 50-100 buses every commute.
They are far far better than the average driver, and I'm extremely grateful.
