Buses share many of our roads, and incidents can result not only in an injury to yourself, but also to  passengers, drivers and other road users. Be aware that buses are larger, heavier, and take longer to stop.

Here are some important road rules to keep you safe when driving around buses.

• You must give way to buses, particularly if they’re leaving a bus stop.

• Bus lanes are special lanes for public buses. They have bus lane signs at the start of these lanes. Drivers are not allowed to drive in a bus lane.
• In a built-up area you must give way to a bus that is signalling to pull out from the kerb.

You must not park near a bus stop.
