While I have witnessed a car lying on its roof whilst driving on that road (probably a speed related incident), it is nowhere near as bad as he's making out. Buses have used it for many decades. It is safe.
If it's the place I'm thinking of, I'm sure I've been along there on a decker at some point and the driver handled it fine. Obviously a bit tight on the bridge, but plenty of signage and space if you take it slowly IIRC?
