It is yep, but if the bus driver has got YouTube to disable a video then he's probably used the DMCA function on their web site. If that is what he's done then this method will re-instate the video.

UPDATE:

Another PM from the Bus Driver arrived in my YouTube inbox last earlier this week... what do you think I should do?

"Listen i know we haven't seen eye to eye but do me a favour and remove that video of me skipping the red light please. Yes i made a mistake but there is no need to broadcast my face voice or the bus registration to the world is there? Plus the fact my mother passed away 3 weeks ago so gettin in trouble with work is the last thing i need at the moment. If your a decent fella you'll realise when someone is being genuine and please do as i ask. Cheers"

It really tugs at the heart strings, doesn't it? He finally seems to have admitted he made a mistake and is trying to get on with his life....

...apart from the fact that this was sent a few days after he tried to make YouTube remove the video again!!! (but they seem to have left it there this time, presumably as it's all pixelated etc.).

Meanwhile his mate ProDriver still seems to be running round my videos telling me that I have no road sense and that I like to look at blokes arses through a camera.... he's a bit strange, that one. :whistle:

fair enough on the RLJ driver, hes finally admitted defeat and begged for mercy so you should grant it i guess.

Prodriver however... ask him why hes following you around on you tube like a sex pest if he thinks you're the kind of guy who looks at blokes arses through a camera!!

Sorry if I'm a curmudgeonly middle-aged matron here, but that sounds more like the sort of excuse a desperate kid uses to try to get out of a PE lesson. The truth may be being told, but due to previous history you tend to think it's more of an act of desperation to try to wheedle out of being caught: if threatening fails, try the emotional guilt-trip route.

Ask him to post an apology on Youtube.
That's an interesting idea... but if I removed the video no-one would see it.

I'm leaving it up there - emotional guilt trip or not. He ran the light, he was an arse, end of. Makes no difference to me what's happening in his life, he's the one to blame if he gets any grief at work.

If it was me that had run the light and it was posted I'd like to think I'd be big enough to own up and put something by the video to say as much. If I then got into trouble at work then they would be able to see that it was a mistake that I regretted, and hopefully see that I would be more careful in the future... or some such gubbins. :thumbsup:

update on this fool.
Today He passed me with about 1" to spare before pulling in to a stop, I passed his window that was wound down ready and commented that he couldn't have given me less room, this is when i noticed it was him and he knew it was me so the close pass was deliberate, he said something about going through me next time or something.
Anyway, i pulled in further down to get his number when he went past, he pulled in further down got off the bus and waited for me, I assume to cause me some damage, luckily I was in no hurry so waited him out.

So whats next? anyone got a contact for reporting incidents like this to the police? I think johnthemonkey has a number.

Dude, you haven't reported him already? If you get a camera and film the twonk making another intentional endangerment, then you'll have him by the short and curlies.

That f*ckin' idiot needs taking off the roads. Deffo report him to arriva and mention the Police... then at some point soon you could ask how he is being reprimanded and point out that that this isn't the first time he's driven badly... and point out my vid (as it's now pixelated you could say you contacted the video owner to ask about non-pixelated footage as you remember that the bus driver looked familiar from my vid in its prior state).

It's a separate report which will hopefully force someone to act and check the CCTV from the bus to corroborate your side of events and coupled with the "mark on his record" from before might pursuade someone that this idiot should not be incharge of driving people around for a living.

Pity I wasn't with you to get the footage again - I think I'd have stopped, checked it had recorded and then phoned the Police there and then, and tell him he may as well wait at the scene as you are going to show them the footage when they arrive.

What a total c*ck though, he needs some help!!
