Unhappy Got run off the road today!

I was just driving out of Shoreham, to get onto the A27, driving along a wideish road. Cars parked on right hand side of road. I'm on left. Enough space easily for two cars.

I'm driving along, several cars drive past. Then a bus decides to drive down. Decides that he deserves whole width of road. Me, in panic, end up grating the kerb and going onto the pavement and watch in horror as bus misses wingmirror my a wisker (half an inch tops) and then misses the rear end of my baby by such an amount again. He buggers off, I recover from shock. Observers close their wide open mouths of disbelief. I get back on road and drive off repeatedly swearing to myself.

The damage? See for yourself, could of been worse, whole car could have been trashed:
