A collision between a turning mini bus and a car has caused an online debate as to who was at fault.
The crash was caught on the car's dash camera and posted to Dash Cam Owners Australia's Facebook[4] page on Tuesday.
The video was captioned with: 'Us young ''P plate'' drivers are only as good as the other drivers we share the road with. Can you believe the bus driver was convinced he wasn't at fault ?!?!?!'

'I truly hope my elderly grandparents never travel with inconsiderate and dangerous company like this.'
Footage shows the car turning a corner and approaching a T intersection.
As the car begins to build up speed and proceed straight along the road, a white mini bus approaches the intersection from the left.
The mini bus doesn't stop at the intersection and begins to turn right, directly in front of the car drivers path.
The young driver beeps his horn as he applies his breaks but it is all in vain as he crashes into the front right hand side of the mini bus.
The silver car's bonnet crumples in the collision and the driver lets out a sigh and reverses his car before pulling over further down the road.
The video which has been viewed over 73,000 times since it was uploaded has attracted a lot of discussion.

Several people thought the young drive r had enough time to avoid the crash.
'Reaction time of a sloth,' one viewer wrote.
'The car had plenty time to hit brakes instead of horn,' wrote another.
But many agreed with the driver and believed it was entirely the mini bus drivers fault.
'The dash cam driver is totally in the right,' wrote a viewer.
'Wet road, hard braking without ABS, car will just slide!' wrote another.
'He is definitely on the brakes. You see all the water droplets on the bonnet shift at the same time the horn goes,' wrote a third.
While one made person even made light of the bad situation with a quirky comment.
'Could have been avoided if the driver did a handbrakey left turn into a 180 burnout then back down the road he was going,' wrote the viewer.
