Default Boris admits bendy-buses are safe - but he'll axe them anyway

The vehicle that collides isn't necessarily the one that caused the

If a cyclist is dumb enough to get wiped out by a bendy bus they'd
probably have been squished by an HGV sooner or later anyway. The
golden rule of cycling is you do not pass any sort of vehicle on the
inside near a left turn.
