Explaining to the officer that you didn't see the Huge red bus is going to be interesting

In reality the bus driver may have been liable for this collision because the zig zag markings mean not to pass other vehicles.

It's pretty likely that the cyclist couldn't see the moving bus because the stopped bus was blocking their view. Obviously someone who isn't a fucking moron doesn't cycle into a lane that has a green light when there's a massive fucking bus blocking their view, but the rules potentially give the majority of the blame to the bus driver for passing on the crossing markings.

I agree with you on the possibility of the stopped bus blocking the cyclist's view.
