The tanker driver is a twunt for overtaking when he did, he couldn’t see the road ahead was clear before he pulled out, he should have waited until at least the bus had reached to the stop to have a better view round the bend and reduce the length of the pass and pass cautiously if the view was still restricted. Not just keep it lit and hope for the best.
The car driver was hardly proceeding with the caution the hazard deserved either, poor awareness from him (notice how much the video has been stabilised, the car is bouncing around all over the place). And yes, whinging to the press to get his gurning picture in the papers over a non-incident.
So it’s a case of who is the biggest tool in the situation - and I think the lorry driver just about wins that award.

He’s correct though. You would fail your test if the road was clear as seen. ‘Committed’ means just that. If there is nothing coming, and you don’t go, you fail. Vice versa, if you come around a blind bend, you should be prepared to slow or stop, as in rule 146: Take the road and traffic conditions into account. Be prepared for unexpected or difficult situations, for example, the road being blocked beyond a blind bend. Be prepared to adjust your speed as a precaution, where there are junctions, be prepared for road users emerging.
Where there are junctions, be prepared for road users emerging. Being on the side of the road that ‘commands right of way’, doesn’t always make it right.
So take your ‘rolls’ and ‘lols’ and go and read the Highway Code before you preach to others, fool.
You’re avin a larf.It’s a blind bend with a bus foreseeably temporarily stopped on it.Great follow your own advice and one day you might just be able to go one better than the muppet driving the truck by actually taking out the vehicle coming towards you in the opposite direction.Then see how you get on with your ‘commited’ on the wrong side of the road on a blind bend bs.IE you don’t ‘know’ if the road is ‘clear’ because a blind bend means what it says.Assuming it’s a parked vehicle not a bus temporarily waiting at a bus stop then you ‘might’ just have an excuse by putting the blame on the parked vehicle’s driver giving you no option but to try to pass it.The problem these days seems to be too many not even decent car drivers driving trucks.Having said that yes as I said the car driver contributed to it by not approaching the hazard at a correct speed.But he’s at least he’s got the excuse of being on the right side of the road even though he’s an equally zb car driver if the law had nicked them both for actually crashing assuming it had all ended in tears.But the truck driver wouldn’t/shouldn’t have had.
Although feel free to show in the highway code where it actually says it’s ok to pass a bus temporarily waiting at a bus stop on a blind bend.Or in fact overtake any vehicle moving or temporarily stopped in that situation unless it’s to pass an unavoidable obstruction.IE it’s been parked there.Or it’s a hole in the road without traffic signals ( unlikely ).

Absolutely bearing in mind the muppet,obviously like others on here,might not have learned anything from it. 
My two pennarth because I’ve got nothing else to do, being a retiree who just sits around writing letters to the council and waving juggernaut placards about… only joking, is that the tanker driver is a bit of a tool for passing the bus when he couldn’t see that the road was clear for enough distance for him to do it safely. On the other hand, Mr berkpanicmerchantdramaqueen trying to impress his twelve year old girl friend in the car looked to be going too fast for the conditions and nearly came unstuck when he rounded the bend. He’s probably a local that ‘knows the road’ but has only just realised that it doesn’t matter how well you ‘know the road’ you still don’t know what’s round the f*****g corner.
I’d say it’s a no score draw.
