In order to obey the Highway Code, a bendy bus driver has the more

bendy length of space beyond a crossing or junction. The difficulty
of the judgement is increased by the type of bus.


Like I said , its down to the driver. HGV drivers can just the space
correctly (most of the time) because they're well trained. If a bus
driver can't (or doesn't care if he blocks the junction) then either
their training leaves something to be desired or they're not suitable
for the job in the first place.
