Thread: Cyclist attacks bus driver

As a bus driver, all I can say is thank God for the CCTV cameras that are mounted both inside and outside of the modern bus. They have supported my side of the argument with motorists on two occasions, when false accusations where made against me. If ever there is a major incident, company management "pull" the hard drive to review what has happened.

I certainly felt safer on the streets of Tokyo than here in my own suburb .

I certainly agree with you about the cycling laws. Way to many of them.
It has been legislated (except Victoria) to be nice to cyclists (the 1m rule), and they still think it their right to be aggressive.

I wish road trains had a 1m rule for Defenders

I have nothing but respect for those moving the nation

I wonder how many kids ride to school these days , or the number of bikes gathering dust ? I miss the ability to just hop on , trundle to the shops or just to have a look around , without the need for body and head armour , lights ,rego ,insurances and all the things getting out of the car should be.
Interesting how things are somewhat free and easy in Byron bay re helmets ?

Not too likely , may be a black t shirt and a pair of strides or the like. Cup holder for my beer and an ashtray for my jazz cigarettes 😈
