Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street under a flyover in a built-up area, and in front of you a green bus is standing at a stop with its left indicator on - it wants to pull out of the lay-by onto the roadway. You must reduce speed and, if necessary, stop so that it can join traffic (włączanie się do ruchu). The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a marked bus stop in a built-up area to reduce speed and, if necessary, stop to allow the bus driver to join traffic, if the bus driver signals with the indicator the intention to move from the lay-by onto the roadway. The bus driver, for their part, may move off only after making sure that this will not cause danger.
Legal basis: Art. 18 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
