Default Near Miss of the Day 446: Close pass of cyclist caught on bus’s own cameras

QUOTE:
Today’s near miss offers an unusual vantage point. The footage was not shot by the cyclist, but by the cameras attached to the bus.

The incident occurred earlier this month in Herne Hill.

Simon said: “I don't run cameras, but this close pass was unusually disturbing so I did a Subject Access Request for the bus’s CCTV, which has just come through.

“I would have reported to the police but now it is too late, such is the process to get the CCTV.

“As you can see, the bus barrels through the lights just as I'm pulling off at the top of Red Post Hill in London.

“The side camera then shows me pulling out sharply to avoid the bus – it must have been an inch or two from my bars. (It didn't help that I had a picture strapped to my bag.)”

Simon received a predictably vague response from Stagecoach.

He was told: “I was concerned to learn of the incident you described as our driver training places much emphasis on sharing the road with cyclists.

“I can advise that a copy of the CCTV was passed to the garage manager responsible for the route and that action has been taken with the driver in regard to the event seen.

“I am not able to give details of the outcome, however, I can assure you that any sanction imposed would have been appropriate and intended to avoid any repetition of such behaviour.”
