As driver of a regular bus, you want to leave a bus stop. What is correct?

The correct combination of actions when leaving a bus stop is crucial for maintaining safety and complying with German traffic rules.

First, switching on the indicator before setting off (choice 1) is important as it signals your intention to other road users. This helps in preventing accidents and ensures that other drivers are aware of your movements.

Second, not forcing your way into the flow of traffic (choice 2) is necessary to ensure safe merging. You must wait for a safe gap in traffic to join the lane, as it allows for smoother and safer transitions, protecting both yourself and other road users.

The third option, switching on hazard warning lights (choice 3), is not appropriate when merging into traffic; hazard lights are meant for emergencies and can confuse other drivers in this situation.

Understanding and following these rules helps everyone on the road stay safe and prevents misunderstandings that could lead to accidents.
