When making a turn at the controls of a large bus, what course of action must the driver follow?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When changing direction, the driver announces the intention with the optical signals, keeps as close as possible to the corresponding edge of the roadway and carries out the maneuver in the least possible space and time (General Traffic Regulations, Article 75). But if, because of the vehicle's dimensions, as with a large bus, it is not possible to comply strictly with those rules, the driver must take the necessary precautions to avoid any danger when carrying out the maneuver (Article 76(1)). That is why the correct course of action is to exercise the utmost precaution. Activating the hazard lights at every turn is not what the regulations require: a change of direction is announced with the direction indicator. And there is no unconditional requirement not to cross the longitudinal lines, because with the dimensions of a bus it may be necessary to occupy more space, always with the necessary precautions.
