...it's perfectly clear from the last photo that the driver had to steer off to the left to avoid that big coach...

...would of thought the pilots were used to dodging cattle - a bus shouldn't be a problem!!!

Hmmm, looks like anti-skid working fine on bogies but nose wheel is locked 90 degrees to runway.

Not much of a problem until you slow down, which is prefered before leaving airport property.

disclaimer. I typically misread photos, but it's fun to speculate

Ideally, one should select a tire with a more aggressive tread for off-road use.
