Am I a wimp?

[mybike]

Ok, yes I am, but this pass made me nervous. What do others think?

Looks like you may have been riding closer in than I would have, but anyway that looked close from here.

 

[Levo-Lon]

I cant see anything wrong sorry.

Are you a weak interacting massive particle? Don't know, that bus did seem a little close. Not much you can do about it.

 

[Alan Frame]

I'd be happy if all vehicles gave me that amount of room.

Especially the a***hole who drove into me from behind and left me lying injured in the road without stopping

Certainly weak & overweight.

Certainly a point for me to bear in mind.

I'm sure you would of been absolutely fine with that distance if it was a car overtaking you.

A bus on the other hand is quite a bigger, louder thing. So, of course you might not be comfortable with another wise "standard" overtaking distance from him.

Dangerous or at least careless, less than 1.5m unless that road's really wide. I'd send it to the police if they accept dash cam footage and complain to the bus company then the traffic commissioner.

Try pressing play

Looks ok to me also, although I understand cameras don't always reflect the real world experience.

Given the standards bus drivers are trained to, and supposedly managed in such a way as to maintain? That was too close.

Copy of clip to bus company, with a polite request that they remind the driver of their standards, particularly as winter approaches with poor light and poor road surfaces.

Camera fitted to the rear, chances are there'll be a similar one facing forward.

At least the prat didn't stop right in front of you.............................Several times.

 

[Vantage]

Not the best pass I've ever seen, but certainly not the worst.
As MJR says, send to the bus company asking that their drivers show a bit more consideration for vulnerable road users. I doubt the police will give a hoot but it might be worth telling them too.
