This really annoyed me

[Dan_h]

Well done, very astute of you to admit you could be wrong too.

I may give a little to placate the odd person who seems to be arguing about nothing, but please rest assured that I never actually believe that I may be wrong.

But that's the point col. If he didn't see him that's just as inexcusable!

I think we have talked about this in other posts, there could be lots of reasons why he might not have seen him, but then the cyclist assumes he has. Which again is a dangerous thing to do. But the cyclist had right on his side and will forge on. But he has admitted he did it to get a film.

More like winding up !

Not on purpose, it shows how polerised some are on here(which was touched on in another thread), when they refuse to see there is another option/way/choice that can effect the outcome of a lot of incidents, so making them safer.

So all of that was for my educational benefit was it? In which case let me take this opportunity to thank you sincerely.

LOL, Yup, there it is. I am right and the OP is right and the bus driver is wrong. I knew you would see it my way eventually.

You assume Im talking about you, see?

Ok I applaud your honesty, some would defend to the end of the world to deny just this, well done

The rolling eyes in my post where I "admitted" doing it to get a film should have made it obvious I was being sarcastic. But then your posts on this have shown that you're a bit dim.

You are right in this instance, Iv never said otherwise, why did you think that?

 

[benb]

No but we should not put ourselves in danger. You need to change your riding style; you have posted similar incidents' Learn to ride sensibly and stop showboating.

Oh push off, and don't be so sanctimonious. I do ride sensibly, and if you can show me where I was showboating I'd love to see it.

No, don't flatter yourself, I meant "my benefit" as in what I gained alongside others by taking part in the collective efforts to question your assertions.

Dear OP,

Were you wearing urban camouflage or a cloak of invisibility during this incident?

Regards,

Dan.

If the answer to this is no then using my immense mind reading powers (or looking at the evidence presented in the video) it is clear that the cyclist was right and the bus driver was in the wrong.

No, I'd left my magic invisibility cloak at home that day.

Now your being shy about your honesty. You should be proud your willing to tell everyone of how you wanted a film, so did what you did, bravo sir

If that was what I did, then I would say so. The fact is that wearing or not wearing a cam has no effect on my riding style.
