Angry buses taking right of way too far

well on the way home from work today i almost saw a major crash.

i was on the freeway following a semi. both me and the semi were doing 100kph and approaching a on ramp. coming down the ramp at about 60kph ( guess) was a bus full of passengers. i could see that the bus would have to slow down as not to cut off the semi and possible cause a crash. well thats what i thought would happen. but no, the bus just kept going at 60 right out in front of the truck.

the truck driver was hard on the brakes and soon enough my car was full of tire smoke and i had bits or rubber hitting the windscreen. the truck and i both had to swerve into the fast lane as the bus just kept on going as if we wernt even there.
id hate to think how many people would have been injured if the truck driver hadnt been paying good attention.

i see this way too often. there are constantly busses pulling out of bus stops with out indicating and almost collect motorists.
