Damn, didn't see this!

Ouch. Never like the idea of riding in bus lanes. More often than not you're travelling faster on the inside lane than t'other traffic with the added hazards of being blind to traffic turning right from the other direction.

Hope you heal quickly.

Really sorry to hear this

It's for this reason I've just bought a helmet cam, been trying it out today.

I'm always very untrusting of gaps in traffic especially in bus lanes at side turnings for that reason, and so tend to crawl past them.

Get well soon, consider any offer carefully before accepting it, and here's hoping all's well shortly!

Where the hell was he going?
I thought he was going to go down the road slightly to his right but appeared to steer left as if to go the wrong way down the road or onto the pavement. Unless he abandoned whatever he was doing as he saw you...

GWS! With that footage, atleast you don't have to worry about the claim too much while you mend.

Dominic Rossetti the bike was undertaking.

Simon King Was just about to say the same thing... At speed and have the other driver no time to look. Your just another biker who thinks you own the road.

Dominic Rossetti Completely agree with that statement

Kevin Daglish Incorrect. Its a bus lane. There is two lanes which merge and the left lane becomes a bus lane. THE BUS LANE IS FOR BUS'S AND MOTORCYCLES.
look at 0.16-0.17. The blue sign on the left shows its for bus's, cyclists and motorcyclists. ITS A TWO LANE ROAD. Its not undertaking when you are in a designated lane!

you just proven peoples ignorance, congratulations. Go back and pass your driving test

I posted your video on facebook to show other people what to look out for. Look at the response I got. Feel free to spam these people with what ever crap you want. Im pretty angry right now about it.

When you are stuck in traffic, are all those buses undertaking? Don't think so!

Sorry to hear about the off! hopefully it will be a nice clearcut case and will get a good payout!

I thought this as well that maybe I could have been going flower but I had just reached 30 st that point but still could have been slower. If you watch the video I swerve to get left, any further over and I'd have still gave come off as I'd have hit the kerb or metal bollard.

Didn't get her number as the gf wouldn't appreciate that lol

I've not posted video direct to my Facebook yet but no one has of yet told made me feel like an idiot and it was my fault so quite shocking to see that
