I can't believe they had a stand off for so long without the passengers and/or other drivers getting out and making one of them move, or calling the police to get the traffic moving again...........you must live in an area of very patient people :-D

I thought that buses were not supposed to reverse if they had passengers on board

The woman was possibly driving one of those new cars.
You know the ones I mean ....they can't do reverse and have no indicators.

I see them all the time round here. LOL

IMAGINE THIS
CARS PARKED ALL ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD,
BUS COMING ONE WAY'
CAR AND FEMALE DRIVER THE OTHER WAY,
STAND OFF AT THE OK CORAL
HALF AN HOUR LATER BUS DRIVER REVERSES
TRAFFIC BEHIND HIM REVERSES,
TRAFFIC BEHIND FEMALE DRIVER LEFT HER
ENOUGH ROOM TO REVERSE,
BUT NO BUS HAS TO REVERSE
