Not me, I was on the bus as I had to go to a camera shop and pickup a new camera 
So my bus is about to pull onto the itchen bridge here in southampton but waits for a cyclist to go past on the cycle lane as he's going at a fair pace. As we head onto the bridge we all hear sirens of an ambulance shooting past us. Driver ahead completely overreacts and immediately pulls into the curb over the cyclelane without checking..
..only the cyclist is there and has to take an emergency brake and place his hand on the back windscreen to stop. I could see him turn around and go "FFS!!!" This car was at a slight angle luckily, so hopefully he's have been able to jump up onto the pavement as an evasive action.
Still. I thought the guy was paste for a second. :shock:
