just been hit by a bus.
 

not much to it really i was turning right at a junction might i add in the middle of town so no more than 20mph, and the bus stopped so I moved off then just as i was clearing the junction the bus pulled off and hit me, i went flying into a crowd ended up with a 6 year old in my arms as i slammed into pizza hut, i hit the glass hard, the young girl was crying but fine indicator spacer broke and the rest of the bike was fine not even a scratch and the bike was dragged, a witness said the bus pulled off really fast and hit my back end and i was flying through the air, but no harm done, my hips alittle sore but the larger is making me better now, about 10 people have my email with pictures so I will put them up once ive got them, but if anything does come of it lots of witnesses said it was his fault, and ive got names and addresses......poor little girl was shaking....

Very frightening! :( lucky escape for you and the little girl thank goodness!

Glad to hear you're okay mate, bus drivers can be very ignorant whether its their right of way or not as I'm sure people are aware. (Stereotypical, but blame your colleagues if you're a bus driver)

glad your ok matey, lucky escape for you and ant the little lass. Take it easy :)

If you do have to claim from them, the bus company will never contest it, or grad it out. they should just cough up. They do here and a mate is a bus driver that told me that
