Bus overtaking Jeremy Vine (via Twitter video).jpgVideo: Jeremy Vine asks how to deal with bus overtake and pull-in
Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine has taken to Twitter to highlight a ‘classic’ instance of a bus driver overtaking him before squeezing him to the kerb when pulling in at a stop.
In weary tones, Vine narrates, “cycling along, doing my best,” before attempting to recreate the sense of fear, frustration and disbelief he felt as a bus started to overtake him but then indicated to pull over as it was alongside him.

Unfortunately, most cycle lanes are not fit for purpose due to debris, potholes and other dangers - all exaggerated if cycling on a road bike.— RPU - Surrey Police (@SurreyRoadCops) March 9, 2018
Vine also went on to post a link to a change.org petition relating to bus drivers’ working conditions.

I usually just skim through his comments. Having read them properly I take your point.

Thanks Jamie, good advice, will give it a try!
I'm on Vulpine's mailing list and have just had an email saying they are 50% off - so £130.
That kind of aggression towards strangers should entail a prison sentence at least.
I went for a walk the other way around the North Willen Lake today, on the way back home there is an access road with a single lockable bollard on...
