It's called Cut in
I drive buses, the rear will follow a significantly tighter line than the front. This is common with any vehicle which steers from only one axle, just the wheelbase determines how great it is (A Pug 205 hatch has a very small cut in, for example, a bus or limo, the rear axle will follow a much, much tighter line) Visibility on the left side is also a problem, in a right hand drive bus, especially if the mirror is not totally set correctly, or weather conditions inhibit viewing, and here at least, there's plenty of undercarriage points to get snagged on.

A few months ago, a girl lost her leg when she went under the rear wheel of a bus here. 'twas just before dawn, and immensly foggy.
