You're travelling behind a bus. What should you do if it pulls up at a bus stop?

Accelerate past the bus

Look for pedestrians

Sound your horn

Pull in closely behind the bus

View hint

People may be running to catch the bus or passengers leaving the bus might wish to cross the road in front of the bus. Look out for them if you intend to go past it. Consider how many people are waiting to get on the bus – check the queue if you can. The bus might move off straight away if no-one is waiting to get on.
If a bus is signalling to pull out, give it priority if it’s safe to do so.
