When intending to merge into the flow of traffic with a bus from a properly signed stop, what behavior must the driver adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish that every driver intending to merge into traffic must first make sure that it can be done without danger to other road users, adapting their speed and yielding if necessary, as well as warning of it with the corresponding visual signal. Although in built-up areas the drivers of other vehicles must make it easier, as far as possible, for collective passenger transport vehicles to merge from signed stops (even slowing down or stopping if necessary), this does not give the bus driver absolute priority. Therefore, the professional must not enter the road abruptly relying solely on the duty of help of third parties; they have the primary responsibility to signal and verify that the maneuver is carried out under optimal safety conditions.
