Bit of non-excitement from my commute today but shows how easily someone
can get caught inside a left turning bus.

is the frame by frame "adventure". If you go to about four seconds in
(hopefully the controls are obvious) you can see that I hover behind the
bus although it's not indicating to turn left and you could easily be
fooled into thinking it's in the RH lane to go straight on. (LH lane is
marked turn left only on the road)
There's also a 30 second mpg of this clip. It's not so obvious here that
I do actually wait behind the bus and it would have been easy for me to
have got level with the front of the bus before it started to turn.

About 26 seconds into the clip the bus puts its left indicator on so it
does work.
Tim.
p.s. As I post this I'm copying all the images up to the server so it
will be a few minutes before the full 30 seconds frame by frame are
available.
