Another silly incident of people refusing to reverse.
Should fall under the offence of driving without due consideration for others and BOTH should be fined.
I must admit that it happened to me in a street where i was driving on my side of the road and there was a long line of cars parked on the opposite side, just before i reached the far end of the line (so almost clear) a bus pulled out diagonally and blocked the way, forcing me to stop. The kerb at this point was high enough that mounting it was not an option. There was aline of traffic building up behind me so I cou;d not reverse, but it was clear behind the bus, and people were starting to "toot" as they do when 10 seconds stopped for no good reason.
I walked over to the bus drivers window and pointed out that unless he moved his bus back a couple of feet to allow me enough clearance to pass, it would be reported and the evidence shown on my dashcam and his cctv would be shown to his bosses.
He moved and I reported him anyway, and received an apology from the busco. he was reminded of his responsibilities as a Psv licence holder.
Not seen him on that route since.
But how long till this madness ends in a death to a third party in an ambulance or somesuch because emergency vehicles cannot reach th scene of an "incident"
