Another First Group bus driver finding the temptation to tailgate a cyclist too much to resist.

Lol, I was just about to post a comment saying "Well no wonder he was tailgating you -- why were you driving so slow?" Then I read the channel name and realised my error. Dear oh dear, I need to go to bed...

Why should he let the bus pass? As some people have stated. He has priority. In the hierarchy, busses are last.

Not good driving at all and a professional should know better! If the cyclist hit a pothole or had to make an emergency stop etc, it is not just that there may not be enough room for the bus to stop, but passenger safety must be taken into account as well and they could be thrown off their seats and seriously hurt themselves or even die from a head injury - it has happened and retraining was the least that should have occurred !

Notice how the drivers never wait for you to find a seat before they tear off from the bus stop?

They only tend to wait for somome to sit down before moving the bus if its an elderly person. Edit- if the passengers ain't elderly they are capable of standing if no seats are available

Sadly most bus drivers treat their bus like a racing car these days as they are very often more powerful and quicker then many cars. If you are unlucky to get a very young PCV driver behind you...he is probably just an ignorant twat. I drove PCV from 1981 until retirement in 2020 and the type of drivers recruited over those 39 years I was in it...went into the toilet!

is that really what you took from this video? if he'd fallen off due to a pothole/other obstacle he was going straight under the bus!

And after that, he couldn't take his place on the road? Hey guy when your car is slower than an other, you let them pass? Be honest just one second!

There's no way he could have let the bus pass without stopping. If you mean he could have moved into the junction that would have been a very dangerous bit of cycling - prosecutable - and he could have hit or been hit by a car emerging. He would also have had to give way to any vehicle behind the bus thereby needing to stop. The bus didn't need to wait long for a space to overtake - that's not the issue, it's the tailgating,.

@@benedictearlson9044 You mean the cyclist would have had to wait for the line of cars that accumulated behind the bus because of the slow cyclist? It's funny how cyclists think nothing of inconveniencing motorists but if they themselves are inconvenienced by a motor vehicle........... well, that is totally unacceptable. " I am cyclist, motorists shall bow down before me." ........ hahahaaahahaaahahaaaaa

@@diffened No ed fend, my reply was to Robert who said he could have moved over and let the bus by 'without stopping'. I simply made the point that was not necessarily true. I wasn't saying letting traffic pass was an unacceptable inconvenience, and actually I always move over or stop when convenient on a bike on narrow roads - or speed up to ease traffic - as every other cyclist I know does. The fact is some roads are narrow, so YOU need to learn to live with sharing the roads because everyone has a right to use them. If you come across someone infront of you the HC says YOU must wait until there is a clear space to overtake. And YOU must not tailgate. Obey the law ed, like this cyclist does and stop being so entitled.
