Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving at dusk along a dual carriageway street; on the right, in a bus bay, there is an articulated city bus, and there are passengers at the stop. You are obliged to exercise caution - as always, and even more so at a bus stop, because the bus may move off and pedestrians may step out from behind it. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires every road user to exercise caution or, where the Act requires it, particular caution, and to avoid actions that could cause danger; when approaching a marked bus stop in a built-up area, the driver must reduce speed and, if necessary, stop to allow the bus to join traffic (włączanie się do ruchu) if it signals such an intention. You take your foot off the accelerator, watch the bus's indicator and the front of the vehicle, from behind which a pedestrian may step out, and at dusk you make sure your dipped headlights are on.
