If you read Pilkybusdriver's post right I think you'll see he was refering to cars and that buses are supposed to take precedence over cars. Many car drivers don't seem to know this.

Not long ago I witnessed a car coming along Abbey Street towards Clayton. A bus was coming up Peel Street, and at the bend he was slow because he'd just stopped at the crossing for pedestrians but as he came round the bend (having right of way) the car driver did not slow down and had to swerve to avoid hitting the bus. He then stopped, jumped out of his car and proceeded to hurl abuse at the bus driver! I think that car driver needs to look at the road markings there and learn what they mean.
