Driving safely with buses
Buses play a vital part of Victoria’s integrated transport system, with over 400 regular bus routes out on the road around the state.
Taking care when driving around buses helps keep you, passengers and other road users safe.
Imagine seeing a herd of hippos on roller skates in your rearview mirror, you’d give them space wouldn’t you?
Well, a bus can weigh up to 13 hippos, that’s 18 tonnes. So, much like a herd of hippos on roller skates, a bus can’t stop in time if you cross its path.
Don’t cut in front of buses. Even near misses can mean disaster for you and those on board.
Share the road. Give buses space. Keep our roads safe.
