Question 5146
Do you have to yield to this bus that wants to merge into traffic?
- Yes, as much as possible, even if it means stopping the vehicle.
- No, because passenger cars have the right-of-way.
- No, because it is an urban road.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as much as possible, even if it means stopping the vehicle.
Yes. In the image, the bus has its left turn signal on to leave a marked stop in the city. In a built-up area, you must help it pull out as much as you can by moving over or slowing down, and stopping if necessary. The fact that this is an urban road is precisely what requires you to do this, and driving a passenger car does not give you any right-of-way.
