Adelaide buses "crab" down the road, with the rear of the bus 100 to 300mm closer to a cyclist than the front. This happens on a road with a camber.
On 24 June video footage and correspondence was sent to Director of Road Safety, DTEI, Mr Martin Small, stating It is only a matter of time till a cyclist is injured or killed due to this fault. A reply on 30 June stated this information was forwarded to the Departments Public Transport Division.
At the request of an administration person from the Department of Transport, I sent a second copy of the letter and CD (Video) to Dept of Transport, 71 Transport Rd, Netley, on 7 August 2009.
I have received no response in this regard, and from this video evidence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65n-88K6R6U) of bus WMW174 there seems there has been no effort to remove this hazard.
I have telephoned the office on 2 February 2010 with a request to be called back.
My concern is that;
- faulty buses are not identified by the drivers, inspectors or maintenance inspection processes, and
- no action has been made to remove this hazard, nor improve processes to prevent re-occurrence.
If there is such a thing as "The Australasian College of Road Safety" then i hope you can help.
