Lies about coach driver caused by ubdertaking cyclist
 
Video evidence came to the skilled coach driver's rescue, but no proper
apology for the slurs, perhaps the driver can get compo.

If the driver hooted at the cyclist for undertaking the driver was in
the wrong.

A horn is a warning device, the bimbo was undertaking, the bimbo was being
warned.

Warned about what?

The horn is to alert others road users to your presence and I am sure the cyclist was aware of the coach.

A horn has almost no use as a warning and most of the time is used for
intimidation or to show displeasure. If the driver was about to turn and
saw the cyclist (as he obviously did), it was the driver's obligation to
wait until it was safe.

Besides, we see a cycle lane in the picture. Skilled drivers do not
cross into another lane when it is occupied.

Come along, group clown; did you actually read the report?
What a fool you really are.

Yes.

There is no way you can possibly understand how little I care what you think.

I think we should get rid of motor vehicle horns. As you say they are rarely used correctly.
Requiring 4+ wheeled motor vehicles to use side lights only on lit 30mph roads would also help safety.

I once used my horn to try to attract a van driver's attention as he
reversed towards me after I stalled trying to get out of his way (*). So
I feel justified in that he clearly did not know I was there and I was
unable to deal with it by primary means.

(*) For those too young or too old to remember - cars used to have crude
devices known as carburettors, which only ever provided an engine with
too little or too much fuel, never the correct amount of fuel.
