Jeremy Vine screams at bus driver in concerning footage and people are divided over who’s at fault

Jeremy Vine has caused more debate online with his latest cycling footage.

The BBC Radio 2 lunchtime host is known for sharing his negative experiences on the roads of London as a cyclist, and it almost always causes divide among viewers.

This one is no different, sharing a close encounter he had early this morning, which you can view here:

Vine has previously gone viral for his near-misses with public transport in the capital, as the presenter wears a 360 degree camera while riding his bicycle.

He captioned the video: "Don't do it DON'T DO IT NO What the f— Today, 6am, on the shocking Holland Park Roundabout which we are told is 'safe enough already.'"

In the clip, the Eggheads host spots a double decker bus in the lane next to him and repeatedly says 'don't do it', before the bus 'does it' and pulls out into the lane he is cycling in. Almost causing a collision, Vine shouts 'what the f***'.

The incident happened at the infamous Holland Park roundabout in London, which has been dubbed as one of the city's most dangerous junctions.

It has been long campaigned for improved safety at the Holland Park roundabout, though Transport for London's original plans to add a cycle lane have their own critics.

TfL stated that it has to make changes after 59 people, including 14 cyclists and pedestrians, were injured in accidents at the roundabout from May 2020 - May 2023, including six serious injuries.

The new scheme would consist of a two-way cycle lane on the inner lane of the southern part of the roundabout, just between Shepherd's Bush Green and Holland Park Avenue.

It would connect with a cycle route to and from Wood Lane and TfL's well-known Cycleway 34.

Also added to the new lanes would be the cyclists' own traffic lights to ensure a safer way for them to cross the junction.

Despite Vine sharing the clip of him almost getting seriously injured, viewers have been split over who's really at fault.

One user commented: "Once again you’ve proved you are a danger to yourself and other road users please stop cycling and use another form of transport that way the roads will be a safer place"

Another agreed, saying: "Your fault TBF"

However, another user agreed with Vine: "Why is it always busses that just think they own the road? With a vehicle that big they should be paying the most attention."

Rosie Trew, TfL’s Head of Bus Service Delivery, said: “The footage of this incident is very concerning.

"We demand the highest standards of London’s bus drivers and we are working with the operator, RATP Dev Transit London, to carry out a thorough investigation.”
