Should be able to outrun a bus, even on an SV;)

Glad to hear nobody was injured, anything bigger than a car doesn't normally end too well:(

Good save!

I had my car wing mirror obliterated by an oncoming double decker bus a couple of years back. I was making my way into Richmond (Surrey) through Petersham, cars parked both sides, bus came around the bend... *he's gonna stop behind that row of parked cars and wait for me to pass 'cos surely he can see there's nowhere for me to go?*... nope! He swerves well into my lane - nowhere for me to go - and BANG - mirror smashed into tiny pieces - nothing to pick up!

Only later did it dawn on me... a couple more inches and he'd have driven who knows how many tons of bus over my old Peugeot 306. W****r!!

If the bus hit you from behind there's not much they could argue that it was your fault

You might be surprised, I was amazed how easy it was to claim the cost of repairs when an unsecured barrier blew over my car at some roadworks

It may take time, but the "where there's blames there's a claim" culture does make it easy to claim when you have genuine cause..
