Lost it, got it again.
Just got back from a lunch time jaunt. Very nice, broke my average speed and had a lovely ride - although it was marred at the end by an a***hole bus driver who squeezed me at a pinch point.
This road here, I was doing about 31mph according to my GPS app.

I was heading down the hill towards the 2 pinch points. I've ridden this a lot, and I know cars try to get by, so I try to take as strong a primary as I can. Today, there was a lot of hay or straw on the road from the nearby farm, so I had to move to the left between the pinch points to avoid some. This gave the bus driver the chance to have me, so he took it. As we both went into the last pinch point at the same time, he was only 6-8 inches from my front wheel as he moved left. I was furious! So much so that I totally missed his reg, the company or his route. And no camera.
Luckily, as I pulled into my drive about 2k away, I saw him drop off some people in my village (defo same bus - same advert on the back, same type, only way he could have gone and no other buses went by). One of the drop offs was a neighbour of mine.
Is it worth popping round and asking her the name of the bus co. and the route? It is worth reporting this?
