@@AlexBayes "but can't blame the road layout for him jumping on the pavement." Well actually you can. Watch it through and every single car going along that road is contributing to the problem. There are about 12 cars who have created the right hand lane and moved over to the right to allow cars to pass on the left, they are all too close to the centre line and a couple are even over the line. So all 13 vehicles approaching the lights have contributed to the issue. Why is that - are they all bad drivers? The road layout has some "social pressure" for them to move to the right, as it would be odd if one just sat in the middle of the two (created) lanes. All 13 cars have created the two lanes and done so because of the design of the road. That has then led the van driver to use that left lane and to find that it is too narrow to use. All that happened because the road is designed badly.

The bus driver was not driving as a professional should. However, the cyclist could also have made an effort to pull over to let the bus pass - it will need more time & roadspace to accelerate & pass the cyclist safely. What concerns me is that there is no actual indication of how far the bus actually was from the cyclist & i would contest this. Having said that the CCTV on the bus may have made a better judgement call.

Comments here saying far too close, after looking at the footage and the shadows of both car and bike it was definitely closer than the new rules define but not close enough to cause the cyclist a problem. In fact it was a far bigger gap than cyclist fly through when cars are stationary in traffic. So if they are able and willing to at speed negotiate a certain sized gap between vehicles then I see no problem with a car passing them with an even larger gap. The two metre rule is a nonsense, most roads would put the car driver on the opposite side of the road and if there were parked cars their vehicle would be squarely in the opposite lane. The main issue here is the speed of the overtake and the ability to stop the manoeuvre if an unsafe situation suddenly arises.

I don’t understand how some drivers pass cyclists so closely, it says in the Highway Code to leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds of up to 30mph, and give them more space when overtaking at higher speeds, obviously for some of us it’s difficult to judge 1.5 metres of space but when overtaking a cyclist treat them as if they were a car, give them as much space as you would when overtaking a car, that’ll make sure you give them adequate clearance when you overtake them, you have to think of the worst, what if they wobble and fall off their bike as I’m passing them, that’s why you give them plenty of space when you overtake them.
