MX07BUV - "Stay In Your Lane" (First Bus 37304)

I have reported this to You tube as violating my rights....i seen you in the road then you started to come out the cycle lane into my vehicle Path,,,I think its about time you gave up your push bike and started catching the train or bus....First warning....remove this from You Tube, you have 7 days to do so if not i will seek further advice which could result in a prosecution.... AGAINST YOU!!!!...one other thing the lights at green lane were on red i did not move the vehicle coz you were so close to it..not a case of waiting for you...and also tell the truth i tried to stop you opening the doors but was a little late in getting the button pushed inside the cab.....to keep them CLOSED!!!!...

Well that's not going to help his case with his employers. Have you forwarded this on to them?

 

[BentMikey]

I love that titsboobies message - couldn't be more stupid if he tried. I wonder if we'll be getting a bloodbus rematch with this? Keep an eye on your video referrers mate!

The thing is that I'm not really sure that 1234Dekka really is the driver. The real driver would know that it was he that opened the doors of the bus, not me. Of course, that could just be another of his little fibs.

Keep the video up, you've done nothing wrong.

It's like you've woken a few neanderthals up

1234Dekka has written complete rubbish, they are trying to sound knowledgeable without a legal leg to stand on and just comes across as a Daily Wail reader.

I had someone twice report a video of mine for privacy violation, the video had a still of the driver but I replied to YouTube stating EU/UK privacy legislation does not apply in public area's such as the public highway, with a little more waffle added they refused the drivers complaint.

Private message just received from GSX1400madboy:

What has a strike over pay and conditions, got to do with an intelligent conversation between 2 people.
The moot point is over MrGrumpycyclist posting car registrations and peoples faces on the net with the intention of gettng them the sack. If you might have noticed, when ever there are tv programmes that involve car numberplates they are blanked out. He actively posts up the reg's of all vehicles involved before any certain legal proof that they have commited an offence, and without the owners consent.

And whether i am a bus driver or not, i am entitled to an opinion

My reply:

It was an "aside" (actually I'm someone who uses First a lot down here, and have been in support of their drivers a fair bit). It was as relevant as your comments about chasing down red light jumpers on the guys profile.

Contact the Information Commissioner. There is a) no right to privacy on a public road, b) no obligation to remove plate details, c) there is no legal need for permissions.

I will also add that I have spoken to him a number of times. He isnt after causing a job loss. He wants to be safe, just like the rest of us. What would you rather? That a bad habit, problem isnt flagged up and the driver ends up like the one in Oxford Street, killing another person?

Where possible our intentions are to make the roads safer. The Police certainly cant do this on their own, it takes publicity, activism and campaigning, and at the very least talking sensibly to the other road users and companies on our roads.

I notice from your profile you're a motor cyclist. Surely you realise the issues faced by motor cyclists are very much in-line with those faced by cyclists. You should show a little empathy at the very least.

I should have said that people are only entitled to opinions that are right and just LOL. I know an old school racist at work, he has "an opinion" but he doesnt have an entitlement and is neither right.

Sadly even racists are entitled to their own opinions, any point we set of opinions being entitled and not is arbitrary. People fought and died for our freedoms to be as bigotted or enlightened as we wish. That is not to say that everytime they voice such an opinion your opinion should be returned more vociferously in reply and that we should try and educate these people to the errors in their views.

 

[DrSquirrel]

You should also point out that number plates in programmes are not blurred out routinely. Faces/plates are only done so due to pending investigations.

To a point I agree. My racist "friend" once began ranting off about "they get free houses!" WTF, called over my chinese workmate and said "Do you get a free house when you come here?" He laughed so hard, he was on the breadline.

True. If he replies I might send him some Police Camera style links. I'm not too bothered in arguing the toss with him, just setting the record straight.

Interestingly I notice that how after everytime I've corrected someone, or defended someone's position (because it would probably be mine)... I get a rash of thumbs down on my videos. LOL! Is that some sort of revenge?

What I find massively entertaining is that immigrants are hard working, low benefit seeking members of our society, and in specific the EU workers has enabled us to have a dynamic workforce that influxed, paid tax and built our country without taking much out, then when the recession came a lot returned to their home countries as it was more profitable to work there. Open borders are an immense idea. Britain has done so, so well from it that I don't understand how anyone can bemoan immigration.

And as for the "they take our jobs", that angers me greatly, they do the jobs that a lot of people don't want to do, for little pay and pay taxes. They help pay for a lot of the complainants to be on the dole.

This is my experience.

Back on topic! Magnatom needs our support. Looks like a concerted effort from one of the cruiser forums to have a pop:

Your weapons of choice? Rules 163 and 167. Directgov guidelines on cycling (up to 1m from the kerb) and gov guidelines on cyclelane width 1.2m wide.

I'll be needing a new YouTube account that doesn't link to me home address so easily me thinks.

That I understand.

More of a call to the seasoned YT cam-cyclists.
