No. Is it possible the bus driver is a senile old fool?

Truck driver avoids 'catastrophic' crash with bus carrying school children on Sydney's M5 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

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.

Dunno what the bus driver was thinking, why was he in the exit lane, sure as, there's no bus stop there.
It's clowns like him that give all heavy vehicle drivers a bad rap.

Al that smoke also hides whatever else went on in the background. Some poor sod may have gone under the trailer.

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

I wouldn't think anything previous would/could diminish the recklessness of the bus driver, even if it is a case of "A man makes one little mistake!"
Just my opinion, mind!

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.
