All the buses have forward facing CCTV don't they?

Most London buses these days have at least a dozen cameras covering all sides.

As said, report to police ASAP - the sooner they get involved the less time there is for footage to go missing.

Bus companies have insurance to comply with the law however they also usually have a mid six figure excess on so are in effect self insured.

I can't see you having a problem with Arriva if events were as you describe them.

I would get the request for the CCTV in asap, the driver may have already deleted it

A motorist once threatened to run me over.
Still see them coming in the opposite direction most days (me on bike them in car).

Always wonder if they are going to carry out the threat.

Wondered whether I should report the threat as it was a threat on my life but I never did.

were you defo in the right (ie. in terms of your road positioning etc?)

Doesn't matter. Assuming you were in the wrong and the bus did have right of way it still has no right to drive off after an accident.

If the police get funny about injury, psychological injury does count, and you were definately traumatised by this weren't you? I bet you are now too scared to go riding and have been forced to give up the activity you love so much...
