A bungling bus driver almost ran over a motorcycle rider after indicating to turn left then changing their mind.

The coach was travelling along the road in New Taipei City, Taiwan, on June 9, when it began turning into a one-way street.

A motorcycle rider took the chance to overtake the bus on the outside. However, the driver suddenly changed course and turned back onto the road - knocking over the rider and pushing him and his vehicle along the road.

Luckily he sprung back to his feet and was unhurt after the scrape.

Onlooker Lu Jinting said provided his helmet camera footage at the scene to show who was responsible. He said: "This is why I stay well back from big vehicles on the road. It was lucky for the rider he was not hurt.''
