Correct answer
- ASí, en la medida de lo posible.Yes, as far as possible.
When we see a driver trying to join the traffic, we must make the manoeuvre easier for them as far as possible, especially if it is a bus trying to pull out from a marked stop. In built-up areas, to help public passenger transport vehicles pull out from marked stops, drivers of other vehicles must: - move sideways when possible, - reduce speed, whenever they can do so without risk, without sudden movements and signalling correctly, and - stop, if necessary, so that the bus can join the traffic. Helping the manoeuvre does not mean we have to stop to let the other vehicle in; we can adjust our speed or change lanes to help it join.
