so I was cycling to work over a busy roundabout and in primary position in outside lane and I usually merge with the middle lane and shoot straight up as the outside lane merge's into a bus lane and cyclists slow me down...i was taking my time to move across to the middle lane and literally the second before I look to see if its clear I get a honk from a bus...fair enough...I probably could have looked a little sooner so appreciate the bus drivers response.... so I carry on in the lane I was in and the bus begins to indicate to get in the bus lane, shoots past me cutting into my lane and eventually and quite aggressively completely cuts me up to the point where I have nowhere to go and have to slow right down and move around it...so I can see the lady bus driver looking at me in the wing mirror and as I'm shaking my head I cycle past the window, slow down and say something like "there was no need for that"...to which she sticks her fingers up at me.
Whilst I was slightly in the wrong to start with her actions were pure retaliation, quite dangerous and then total bl00dy ignorance to stick her fingers up at me.
I stopped 50 yards down the road, grabbed my phone, waited for her to approach and took a very detailed photo of her bus and the registration number, needless to say she was not sticking her fingers up at me anymore and looked on quite shocked. I've got the time and the route, everything.
So, do I bother reporting it? Is it worth my time?
