Question 3738
What must you do when you see the bus is about to merge into traffic?
- Continue normally, because it does not have the right-of-way.
- Take precautions, because they have absolute right-of-way.
- Make the bus's maneuver easier, even stopping if necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Make the bus's maneuver easier, even stopping if necessary.
In the image, the bus has its left turn signal on to leave a marked stop on a city street. In a built-up area, you must help it pull out by moving into another lane if you can or slowing down, and stopping if necessary. Even so, it does not have absolute right-of-way, because its driver must also take the necessary precautions when pulling out.
