To be clear, you are allowed to overtake on the inside when it's congested, and you are allowed to use this bus lane at the time I filmed this. (I choose not to because I know the lane is a poor one for many reasons.)
But people who overtake on the inside are supposed to exercise extra care because of the lack of visibility and the high likelihood of someone not expecting them.
The problem is ... they don't exercise the necessary care. Here you see a careless pedestrian walking out. The van that nearly hit her was not capable of stopping, and could only use the horn and hope for the best.
Sure, the pedestrian was in the wrong, but this kind of event is completely predictable, and the "it's allowed" brigade don't care about predictable dangers.
