oGoogle also found this YT showing the roundabout in question not long after it happened, showing the route he's taken. If ol' mate in his car has to go that slow round there, makes you wonder just what the goose in the bus was thinking!
My point in including it, was not just for the legal issues that are arising from this crash, but also I hope that there will be some insight into the human factors. What caused the bus driver to drive so 'furiously', abandon the law, and drive well beyond his abilities, was it habitual, was he set off by the passengers not complying, etc etc. I wonder if there is anything that can be crossed over to aviation to use, to learn from, about slowing down, and taking it easy when things get aggravating, not as you want. Was there a hint of 'hurry up' I'll just get them to the destination as fast as possible and get rid of this mob, was it just a bad day for him, who knows...

Anyway, big thread drift....
