A shocked High Wycombe cyclist has shared video footage of a terrifying near-miss with a bus.

Lyndon Ferguson has blasted the "atrocious" driving of a Redline bus driver who did not slow down or give way to the cyclist on a busy roundabout.

The video - which was taken at the roundabout with Cressex Road and Marlow Road on October 17 - shows how close Mr Ferguson came to being hit by the bus as he was navigating the junction.

Describing what happened, Mr Ferguson, who was commuting home on his bike at around 4.15pm at the time, said: "I slowed down to check for traffic on my left and right. Seeing nothing to my right, I began to accelerate through the roundabout when I heard a bus speeding up.

"The bus made no effort to stop, slow down, or avoid cutting the corner of the roundabout, coming very close to me and my bike as I came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the roundabout.

"This is an example of atrocious driving and the complete lack of respect for vulnerable road users."

Mr Ferguson added that the bus - which is believed to be number 655 - "narrowly missed" the front wheel of his bike as the driver turned right into Cressex Road.

The Highway Code says priority should be given to buses and coaches - but only when you can do so safely, and it is not a legal requirement.

Since the shocking incident, Mr Ferguson has tried to make contact with Redline, which is based in Aylesbury, but has not had much luck sorting out the situation.

He said: "Immediately after I phoned Redline Buses and left a message detailing the incident, expecting a call the following day.

"Having not had my call returned, I phoned Redline and spoke with a representative on Friday at 11.30am. The representative did not seem concerned at all."

Mr Ferguson said he asked for his complaint to be escalated to a manager or supervisor but that did not happen, saying the bus company "did not seem to care".

He added: "A formal apology from the driver involved might go a long way to making them think twice about behaving in a similar manner in the future."

The Bucks Free Press has tried multiple times to contact the bus company via phone and email but no one from Redline has responded.
