Driving on a bus lane to avoid a driver harassing me

    When you approached the bus lane what prevented you from stopping and letting the other driver carry on?

    He prevented you from moving over and changing lanes, Just a guess but he may have thought you were pushing in instead of waiting in the line of traffic.

    But the main point is why not stop instead of entering the lane?

    He kept trying to swerve into the lane i was in for some time. And if i slowed down, he would go back in his lane.

    Then in the bus lane, he would not let me move over, if i slowed down he would even if there is no traffic, if i increased my speed he would too.

    I entered the lane, because i was a little stressed by what he was doing, and concentrating on his behaviour to make sure i dont drive into him, this led me to not to notice the bus lane started,

    You could have just stopped or carried on driving to the conditions of the road.

    He tried that well before the bus lane. I mentioned that to make the point of what he was trying to do.

    So what did you do to provoke this sort of driving?

    You won't be able to do anything about the fine without having reported it to the police.
