Default Tree bash

South London at the moment is like a real life Grand Theft Auto V.

Well that tree looks pretty firmly planted in the pavement


But what about the top of the trunk leaning towards the road?


Its probably always leant slightly out. I doubt a 10 ton bus makes much
impact on a tree that size whose roots probably go down 10 metres.

and I'd say yes, the bus is slightly off the road.


How many feet are the nearside wheels up the kerb, and why isn't it
tilted as a result?


Tyre could have blown out. Besides, there is plenty of street furniture as well
as trees only inches from roads all over the country. If someone drives into
them are they too close to the road or is the driver simply an idiot?
I'll vote for the 2nd option.
