WEO 160 Bus leaning

7 Jan 2013

Bus WEO160 was leaning to one side at the lights, and continued down the road with the same lean.

I was not able to get behind the bus to see if it was crabbing. Regardless, a leaning bus takes up more room in the lane than the actual width, putting all road users at risk.

A pedestrian for example, half a metre from the bus on the road, would be struck by the top of the bus!

WJP657 bus crabbing

I could not get around in time to follow and confirm on a straight road, but on Railway Tce Ascot Park at approx 4.30pm Thurs 3 Jan 2013 the MAN bus WJP657 looked like the bus was leaning and crabbing.
