A company responds..

Can I just say that as a company, we take this kind of thing very seriously. I have today called the driver of this vehicle into the office and asked for an explanation. He has apologised profusely for any offence caused. He is aware his actions could have resulted in a more serious situation and has asked us to offer a personal apology to anyone involved in this near miss.

What near miss?

Can't see what was wrong here? He was a little indecisive about the ultimate lane choice towards the end but the cyclist that came up on the inside on the red bike was cautious enough to not go down the inside of it....

Never undertake a lorry at a junction.

Lorry shoukd have indicated.

 

[glenn forger]

Operator of the most dangerous vehicle on the roads decides indicating isn't needed.

 

[dee.jay]

Good point

I would never have squeezed through past that bus.

 

[glenn forger]

I dunno at 00:02 you can see the light's still red.

Indicating or not, I wouldn't be riding down the direct LH side of a vehicle crossing a junction. By me not doing that, it removes any chance of being cut up should said driver turn left.

There's even a sign on the back of the bus...

Im a wagon driver and corners like that you have to take it wide to avoid the barriers, he was half in left turn lane so there was only one way he was going, to undertake on the left, on a lane that is turning left is just suicide,

Fair play to the chap warning that other cyclist not to go there, who looks like he doesnt cycle that much tbh,

But no need to contact the company imho

Risk your life on a bus not moving slowly forward to fill a gap before the lights change on a tight path with a handy lamppost to crush you against???

Do you also think indicators are for losers?

How is it poor cycling from any of us? None of us tried to undertake a massive lorry either........

 

[DWiggy]

Yes he should have indicated but his road position indicated he maybe moving left as he is in a very large vehicle and was straddling the middle lane to make his turn, and from the looks of it you and the chap with the white shirt on saw this also, cant see why all the drama? Plus there was a lot of under taking of large vehicles from you guys with the LH bend approaching which to me is asking for trouble!

I actually feel sorry for the poor sod you complained about!
