Lunchtime Live<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cI proceeded on to the cycle lane; we went through a set of traffic lights and just after we went through the set of traffic lights, I became aware of the noise of the engine just behind me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was getting quite loud and quite close.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her peripheral vision, Ms Donnelly saw that the bus was about to overtake her but then the driver spotted an oncoming car and had to pull in quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She heard him sound his horn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cImmediately I thought something’s happened,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe car didn’t get in on time or something has happened behind me because why would you sound the horn?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI looked over my shoulder and, no, he was just annoyed that he hadn’t managed to overtake and there wasn’t another opportunity for him to overtake because we’re now on a bending, narrow road.\u201d<\/p>\n
The driver kept beeping his horn and Ms Donnelly realised he wasn\u2019t about to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was after seven seconds or approximately that, I said, \u2018He’s not stopping,\u2019\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI took out my phone, my phone was in my hip pocket, very handy to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI started recording, thinking that he would see I was recording him and go, \u2018Oh, I better stop.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause he’s very, very identifiable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that point, Ms Donnelly headed off towards her estate and the driver began shouting at her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want other road users to understand, you don’t sound the horn when somebody says you’re annoyed at them,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat’s not the proper use of the horn\u2026 It should be illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n
