I just want to have a rant and let everybody know about an incident I had this morning.
At approximately 7:35 this morning in Northcote on the North Shore at the intersection of Raleigh Road and Lake Road, I was indicating to turn right to go around the round about on to Lake Road and proceeded to do so. As I was making the turn some complete and utter imbecile of a bus driver (driving a Ritchies bus) started to pull out right in front of me as I was making the turn. They were turning right to go down the other direction of Lake Road towards the Northcote shops. Not only did they pull out in front of me they didn't even break or attempt to break and as I passed the clown almost plowed right into me. It was only quick reactions on my part in which I sped up and did an emergency counter steer to dodge the bus that saved me. I swear I missed it by half a foot at most. A more inexperienced rider would have probably panicked and braked and got hit and probably run over.
I needed to go to work and to be honest was a little shocked so I just beeped and kept on going. I regret it now I should have turned around and got his details at the very least (or given him a bit of aggro), I would have definitely done so if I didn't need to be at work.
I think I will send Richies Bus company an email tomorrow. What do you guys think?
Have you had any similar experiences? Almost been murdered by a bus driver?
