Cyclist need to take some responsibility for their actions

[Soup890]

To be fair, in order to not look like an idiot, you should read the story before posting.

To be fair, what the bus driver did was wrong. So and I cycle 5 days a week to work.

 

[Soup890]

Yeah just like a bus mounting a pavement. I can see the similarity.

How often do you see a bus mounting a pavement vs cyclist riding on a pavement ????

 

[glenn forger]

( I actually dreamt that last night. A fence blew down and a neighbour became testy but Sheridan was loving and supportive. Sigh)

 

[ScotiaLass]

No but let's look at it like this, we all share the road. The bus driver maybe in the wrong.

Seriously!!!!
Are you actually serious with that statement?
The guy deliberately mounts a pavement, blocks two cyclists and gives them verbal abuse and he MAY be in the wrong!
What if a mother was walking along with a kid in a pushchair and he collides with them?
What if it was your Mrs and kid?

I really despair.
Thank God for the ignore button <click>

There's a reason for that.

I'd love to live a life of mundane suburban normality married to Sheridan Smith. Let's see who gets lucky first.

It can be achieved in England. I'm glad we have a first class education system that allows people to progress into careers. I'm proud to be British

 

[Soup890]

There's a reason for that.

Look man!!!! Give it a rest, if a bike hits some it can do some damage or even worse death!!!

When you buy a mobile phone do you read the instructions ?

Yes, I do. I'm quite good at reading. If you wanted to be a professional driver would you read the highway code?

I'm not sure that was a priority.

 

[Soup890]

Yes but when you are angry it all goes out of the window. I'm i right??

 

[ScotiaLass]

No.
If you are a professional, you act like a professional!
There are no excuses.

NO, and that was a capital NO.
if you are a professional driver to PSV standards then NO (capital) NO

 

[DRHysted]

I'm not sure that was a priority.

For some reason I was trying to be nice. Most of his threads do make me think of the old saying about a village missing their idiot.

In that sort of job it is always instant dismissal, otherwise the company would end up having both lawsuits and zero passengers.

I told off my bus driver the other month for being on his mobile phone. I've not seen him since, though I'm an irregular on that particular service.
I suspect the 2 terrified school age kids who got off the stop before me might have reported him via their mum.
