Undertaking. A lack of awareness.

[benborp]

It seemed comical at first and then it began to get worrying...

How often does this happen each day? It doesn't take much to get caught out and the consequences even with only the kerb to get trapped against could be terrible.

Wowwwww....

I am taken aback by the number of bikes / motor bikes that go past in 20 seconds. Glad i don't live in London any more.

No, they all struck me as being your regular garden London commuter.

The lady in the yellow top, yep frightening.

Geesh............

I hope you rapped the little lady on her lid..... FFS.... why kill yourself....

 

[fossyant]

This is really bad...... TBH this would make a really good promo to students, London Commuters and stuff.... you can see she'll never get away with any escape if the bus moves........

 

[Tynan]

kudos to the bus for spotting all that idiocy and staying put

To be honest with you, apart from the lady who rather oddly managed to get stuck, I probably would have done the same thing if I could see that the traffic in front wasn't moving...or gone on the other side, but not waited where you were. Sorry.

Exactly - I watched my bus driver this morning (bike parked in a secure spot - me on bus) check before moving in to a stop - blooming night mare for most drivers.......Manchester riders are much better, it's the students you watch...

 

[redjedi]

That's just crazy.

Impatience isn't just for motorist. I would have also waited where you are, then pass them all a few hundred yards up the road.

Good on the bus driver for noticing.

Yesterday I had a bus driver purposely leave space for me as he approached a bus stop in case I flew down the inside. I didn't, but gave him a thumbs up for being aware as I went around him.

My rule is never to undertake a vehicle which is taller than me (or one who is missing their mirror, as one WV was this morning)
