which is why they stop in the traffic to let people on and off, because no cunt will let them out again
From highway code:
Buses, coaches and trams. Give priority to these vehicles when you can do so safely, especially when they signal to pull away from stops. Look out for people getting off a bus or tram and crossing the road.
2 wrongs dont make a right. It doesnt say you "MUST" give way to a bus iindicating to pull out so technically they are not breaking a specific law not letting you out. However im sure with other driving standards a copper sees then it might construe careless or inconsiderate driving.
However note the phrase "when you can do so safely". Pulling out your bus on someone already part overtaking you or indicating and swerving when someones too close to slow down isnt safe is it?? again 2 wrongs dont make a right.
Plenty of times ive gone past a bus in a layby with NO indicators on and either just as im a few meters from passing the rear end or while driving past the CUNT whacks on the indicator, while simultaneously pulling away. Either he hasnt looked in the mirrors or did look and thought "fuck you, you will have to stop".
That is dangerous driving by the bus, nothing less.
The only reason i havent hit a bus is because at 30mph, i can do an emergency stop quicker and in a shorter running distance than most buses can pull out.
The old guy a few doors down on my street wasn't so lucky when a bus decided to change lanes on a dual carriageway while he was halfway past the bus and he got rammed by the bus. The bus company defaults to the car is at fault and the insurers advised it would likely go against him. Luckily the car behind had a dash cam so he got it as non-fault.
As professional drivers you should hold the moral high ground by being beyond reproach with your driving standards despite the cunts around you.
