It's hard to imagine why the bus driver even had his vehicle in that position.
is it possible, with the road being curved, the bus driver didnt have full visibility?
No. Is it possible the bus driver is a senile old fool?Quote:

The video clearly shows the bus driver trying to exit from the entry way of a slip lane, he could have exited in the proper manner only 100m down the road. The bus driver may well have had the sun in his eyes but that is no excuse for trying to re-enter the highway in the manner shown.
Al that smoke also hides whatever else went on in the background. Some poor sod may have gone under the trailer.Quote:

Probably to ascertain what happened before the incident footage, the reason the bus was there etcQuote:

That truck driver probably saved the lives of those 20 kids by his skill in pulling up safely.
In this incident it's hard not to agree. But the authorities like to dot the'i's etc. If something like this comes to court, as it would have if any of those kids on the bus were injured or killed, then they want to get all their ducks in a row. So, calling for witnesses has become standard procedure.Quote:
