Jeebus! 17 months seems hardly enough.

Interesting to watch the cyclist too though. You can see him veering out across the lane - away from the kerb - as the bus starts pulling out to overtake.
Moral: never play chicken with a bus.

Unless you are flying a fully laden A10 or Apache 🙂

I can't see enough detail in the video, could the cyclist just be moving into the lane turning right?

Mibbe - but he doesn't seem to signal this intention

after the pair had an altercation

cyclist not trying to turn right, just trying to wind the bus driver up which he succeeded in doing a little better than he planned by the looks of things 😯

you could always read the detail on the article. There had been a previous altercation and, at the top of the footage, the bus is stopped and can't move away as the cyclist leant his bike against front of bus while he remonstrated with driver.

Guy then gets on his bike and bus immediately chases him, so more likely he's trying to get away than wind the bus driver up.

I wonder how many drivers fantasise about doing this! What a nutter, he'll be out in a few months too. Not sure why this isn't attempted murder really?
