I think it is best to wait and see what other information comes out about this. I mean did she look before she stepped into the road etc etc. Perhaps the police take this action as a matter of course now until the facts are found out........ |

Is it not a law in some places that you are not allowed to overtake a bus at a bus stop 
This is maybe why he is been questioned by police for dangerous driving |

This is maybe why he is been questioned by police for dangerous driving Not as far as I know, unless there are road markings etc to say so. You are supposed to let them out when they're leaving a stop. The report doesn't give much information to come to any conclusion. We don't even know if the bus had left the stop. |
