I've never done anything so bad that I deserve to live in Auckland.

You'll just have to take your complaint into the local station. In all seriousness I think you should follow through with it, driving a bus in that manner is going to result in a very nasty crash before long.

want to know how close it was....this close....

somebody in a nearby house took these pics just after i picked up my bike and this is where he stopped the bus after rolling over my bike you be the judge guys

and when he stopped he had swung the frón't of the bus out a bit wider where the back of the bus is is where the front was but the front only just missed the bike

they may just say to repair it ...will have to find out

Those pictures are great to present in court.....
That bus driver is so busted for cutting the corner.
I hope the police throw the book at him and the courts take his bus license off him for good.

Stagecoach also need to see how their driver drives their buses...
maybe with a bit of luck he will get the sack.

Thank goodness the person across the road had a camera handy and was at home to get those pictures for you. They deserve a beer for that.

Unbelievable!! Glad you're OK, sorry about your bike. Hope all goes smoothly with the claim.

That intersection looks very familiar.....where is it?

I can hear the bus drivers excuse already... "I didnt see him as I was driving up the wrong side of the road, officer..."

Jackshit happens to bus drivers for driving offences. I got taken out by one once, completely wrote off my shaggin wagon, (ok, ok, I was 18...) and dented his bumper all because he had to whack off at his mates parked up at the school and took his eyes off the road. Crossed the centerline and *cruncho*.

Judge Dredd asked if I had anything to say when he had his day in court, and I said "Yea...whos gonna pay my insurance excess?" He was fined $250 and I had to pay $400 excess on my insurance???...In the end, I ended up paying it (of course...) and Stagecoach laughed their asses off...

Funnily enough, just coz i could, I applied for a job at Stagecoach a few years later (as a bus driver), was offered a position, but I only contemplated the offer for a nano-second before I said nah, flipped the pasty looking hiring guy with the 5 neck rolls and three chins the bird and told him to shove his bus-driving job up his (bleep). I drive buses for pleasure cuz, not for a bunch of smelly schoolkids...

Seriously glad to hear you jumped clear of being squished beneath the bus. Good work

Time to put ya feet up, have a beer and look back at how frikken lucky you really were!!

Bugger about the bike mate, but hey you're still in one piece and thats all that matters.
Bus drivers should be bloody well closely watched. I got cut off by one yesterday (and its not the first time). you think that should they make the wrong choice and pull out infront of a mack truck? how many people are they putting at risk? dammit they should all go back to driving school and learn to use their bloody eyes.
Ok think i got it outta the system.

Well good luck with getting them to payout. If it was me then i'd be pushing for dangerous driving, had you not jumped off then he could have ended up with far more serious problems. Hope it all sorts itself out.

Presumably you've lodged your complaint and shown your evidence to police.
Response?

You have to follow through on the complaint, that is unbelievably bad driving!
