Poor judgment by the bus driver - green means go only if it is clear to do so.
It was clear when he started.... Otherwise some roads would never move...

It was clear. It was still clear when he was in the middle of the junction. The cyclist made no effort to avoid the bus and still hit it 2/3rds of the way to the back. Entirely the cyclist's fault IMO.

Personally I blame the people that built the traffic lights. After all, if they hadn't then there would not of been there and the cyclist could of continued to roar down the open road without a care in the world.

I also blame the Romans for inventing the road.

Who invented the bicycle? They have to shoulder some of the responsibility as well those brain dead numpties who invented the ICE

NEVER!!!! Have you learnt nothing from these threads. The cyclist, the bicycle and all things powered by pedals can never, NEVER, be blamed or wrong!

Blimey. You really do have mental problems.
And you really do have no sense of humour and a gigantic persecution complex.

Perhaps it was rusted through lack of use?

You will be suggesting that they should be insured and pass some sort of highway code test next! An outrage sir!

But, you see, I have been told by those who know, that most already pay road tax, have passed some sort of test, and some even have sort of insurance, only thing missing is the MOT for the concerned vehicle biggrin

Hang on? This vid was posted to show how stupid a cyclist was when running a red light. But we see evidence of a vehicle doing this too?
Makes the point the OP is trying to make a bit weak. smile
I don't know what point the OP was trying to make, I thought the uber comment was very funny.
