CITY to CITY bus puting others in danger

Saturday (14 Feb 2015) afternoon my family and I were driving home from Calitzdorp. On our way home to PE on the N2 highway we encountered a City to City bus with the registration number YTY480 GP who joined the N2 at the Humansdorp intersection. The bus drove behind us and just past the JBay intersection (Caltex stop) on the down hill it wanted to pass us. We were travelling at the speed limit of 120km/h and this bus was exceeding the speed limit and there was not enough space for him to pass because there were vehicles coming from the opposite direction. The bus driver soon realised that the bus wont be able to make the pass. Instead of falling back behind us, the driver swerved over to our side when the bus was right next to us. I fortunately reacted in time and slammed on my the brakes, and swerved off the road so that the bus could pass and miss us.<br> <br> Is this how a person who has a licence to transport people drive??? The driver put all of us in our car and all the passengers on that bus in danger. . <br> <br> After the incident I phoned the number on the bus and reported the driver. The driving was reckless, and irresponsible and I will never in my life ride in that bus!!!
