I must state that I agree that the BE driver didnt technically do anything wrong!

In that stituation C236 that only option for you was to take up a following position, i.e. move back far enough from the vehicle in front so as to allow other vehicles pass you out, rejoin the road and allow them to take up a position to pass out the bus although this may lead to tailgating it means you arent breaking the law and putting peoples lives in danger. If the road is moving at a slow speed its just the way it is and you have to wait your turn.

Personally I think the hard shoulder option should only be for cars. They are not as wide and can stop a lot quicker. They also dont have the possibility of have 80 souls on board.

Im happier arriving home alive and late rather than on time in a coffin.
