Vulnerable road users
A bus at a stop is signalling to move off. What should you do?
- Speed up so you pass before it moves
- Expect the bus to wait for all the traffic to clear
- Give way and let it pull out when you can do so safelyCorrect
- Sound your horn to tell it to stay put
Why?
Rule 223 of The Highway Code says you should give priority to buses signalling to pull away from a stop, when you can do so safely. Watch also for people getting off.
