Transportation buses are large vehicles and no driver wants to get too close. They may be difficult to pass due to their size. Often they are in a hurry to meet deadlines set by the company so they drive far too quickly for the road conditions.

If this is what has happened to you, and you believe that the accident was the fault of the transportation bus driver, you may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover damages from the transportation driver or the bus company, depending who or what caused the accident.
