Nobody's yet mentioned the higher driving standards expected of a professional driver. The coach driver seemingly failed with a few of the following;
HC Section 184; on approach; "Remain aware of the speed and position of the traffic around you" (including traffic in your path)
HC Section 185; at the roundabout; "Watch out for other road users on the roundabout" and
HC Section 187; ...watch out for and give plenty of room to...
"Traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout ..."
"Traffic straddling lanes or positioned incorrectly ..."
As an ex-coach driver, it goes against the grain to say this, but I think the driver in the clip is at least 90% responsible for the collision on so many levels.
