Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving along a street in a built-up area behind a passenger car; on the right, at a bus shelter, there is a city bus with its left indicator on, which wants to move off from the stop. The driver slows down and lets the bus join traffic - you have acted correctly - the answer is YES.
In a built-up area, a driver approaching a marked bus stop is obliged to reduce speed and, if necessary, stop, to allow the bus to join traffic (włączanie się do ruchu) if its driver signals this with the indicator. The bus switched on its indicator, and the driver slowed down and let it pull out from the shelter - this is in line with the rules. The bus driver could move off only after making sure that this would not cause danger. Making it easier for buses to leave stops helps public transport run more smoothly.
