You are driving a public transport bus in the built-up area. Should you make sure that emerging from the lay-by will not pose a threat to road safety?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

A bus leaving a bay is a manoeuvre of joining the traffic. According to the regulations, a driver joining the traffic is always required to exercise special caution and to give way to other road users. Therefore, the primary duty of the bus driver is to ensure that their manoeuvre does not create a hazard in road traffic.
