Near Miss of the Day 790: Taxi driver makes punishment pass

We’re heading into Oxford along the A40 for today’s video in our Near Miss of the Day feature in which the cyclist strongly suspects he was on the receiving end of a ‘punishment pass’ from a taxi driver who made a very close overtake on him as he was riding in the bus lane.

“There's a shared path to the left away from the road but at this time in the morning it's families walking to school, as I'm going along at around 20/22mph I prefer to continue along the roadway. “This makes me think it's a punishment pass, why I'm unsure. I assume it's because they think I shouldn't be in the bus lane, which is odd as there's a repeating blue sign for the bus lane with a picture of a bus, bicycle, and taxi in it.

Thank you all noted this has been forwarded to driver and our transport manager. Our fleet is allowed to use bus lanes appreciate safe distance should be kept by all road users and this will be addressed by us.> Near Miss of the Day turns 100 - Why do we do the feature and what have we learnt from it?

Stop effing complaining and move on

That's a private hire, not a taxi - as such it may possibly not be allowed in the bus lane at all, depending on local regs.

He needs report that to the taxi licensing department at the local council.
