He may then remember the shock he got when, after starting to pull out from the bus stop at Holy Corner, he noticed me (petite lady cyclist, not going too fast) alongside him, looking in his window, with a concerned expression on my face. </p> <p>I was not able to get the bus number (it was not visible on the rear or side of the bus), but in case you are not sure which driver it was, I am happy to describe or otherwise identify him for you, since I got such a good look at him. I rather suspect he remembers what I look like too. I hope that helps him remember to indicate and check his mirrors everytime he departs a bus stop.</p> <p>Thank you" </p>
