It's no different really though to any sort of vehicle breaking down there - arguably better as a bus is easier to see. 

There are similar places on some of ANEs routes, the X14 in particular, and from experience drivers in the area tend to know to take those sorts of locations with care.

Plus, I'd imagine if a bus completely died on the way down it'd have enough momentum to cross the bridge and at least pull over to the side.


Another thing is roads always look and feel more 'dangerous' when you're a passenger since you don't have the feeling of control, the same as when you launch a car, it always feels faster as a passenger than it does as the driver.
