Bus driver complaint and OYBike
Paul Weaver wrote:
Riding my rather groovy OYbike (details to follow) up wood lane at 18:20 this evening, passed dozens of cars, vans, lorries, no problem, then, just south of TVC, a double decker bus was blocking the lane. A mandatory cycle-only lane, according to a later post of yours. I peers arround the right but there was no way I was going to chance riding on the outside of the traffic facing those vehicles. Facing what vehicles? Isn't Wood Lane a two-way road? So if the bus is parked across the cycle lane, isn't there still room between it and the centre line? Had to get off and walk past the bus on the pavement. The bus was a 220, W reg, possibly W9#XXX. When confronted his response was "**** you". What does "when confronted" mean? I assume you didn't enquire politely why he was parked in the cycle lane, for which he might have had a plausible excuse (e.g. breakdown). What exactly did you say? Who can I complain to to ensure he loses his job, or at the bery least is forced to ride a bike for 50 miles arround London. So you want to sack someone who returned your rudeness just because you had to walk past a bus on the pavement. Grow up. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

If I spoke in that manner to a potential customer then I would expect to be sacked. Why should bus drivers be any difference. Anyway, if a professional driver takes a motor vehicle into a mandatory cycle lane that sounds like gross incompetence to me. In any job I would expect employees to get at the very least a written warning after demonstrating gross incompetence. -- Danny Colyer (the UK company has been laughed out of my reply address) URL:http://www.speedy5.freeserve.co.uk/danny/ "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." - Thomas Paine |
