Reckless endangerment of fellow road users by Bus T5151
Your bus driver of the bus T5151 along the Main Rd Kenilworth to Claremont Saturday morning 12th Sept refers. We were 2 cyclists traveling in SINGLE FILE on the very left of the road.The Bus driver hooted at us when he was behind us.We assumed he was just letting us know he was going to pass.The road is very wide along that stretch (for 2 cars abreast).What he in fact did was drive closer to us and force us into the gutter. When we had nowhere else to go, but hit the pavement and have an accident - he literally brushed his bus past the front rider - he felt the bus against his shoulder...It was a miracle that he did not bump the cyclist off his bicycle into the pavement.It was a traumatizing event. He KNEW what he was doing - it was no error of judgement. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE to be recklessly endangering road users. We also have a lawful & rightful place on the road.In fact - we were more legally entitled to use that stretch of the ROAD than he was. It is disappointing that your bus service trains & condones this type of behaviour to fellow road users.
