The title on the video itself was one of praise for the bus-driver, and it was an excellent reaction on her part. Incredibly quick emergency stop. I hope that the driver and none of the (entirely innocent) bus passengers were injured in what was obviously a rapid deceleration. |

I thought it was sad that no-one actually went and comforted the girl and made her at least sit still, she would definitely be in shock and possibly had broken bits. |

The driver seemed to be doing some of that, though it wasn't apparently in sight of the cameras. |

I recall a time when I was in a bike box at the head of a traffic queue on the A20 he http://goo.gl/maps/y9Nsw I berated a National Express coach driver for illegally encroaching into the bike box. The lights went green and we all pulled off. At the moment of pulling off my bicycle handlebars broke, and there was nothing for me to do but end up in a heap on the tarmac. The National Express coach driver stopped 2 inches from my arse. Never before have I been happier that coach drivers have such excellent forward visibility with their extra large and low front windscreens. |

Thanks for providing even more evidence that cycles are not a viable form of transport and that motor vehicle drivers are well trained, attentive and have quick reactions, their vehicles good brakes, and that drivers are not easily baited by ignorant cyclists. |
