Correct answer
Make it easier for the bus to manoeuvre, even stopping if necessary.
Facilitate the bus joining traffic: move laterally where possible or reduce speed safely, stopping if necessary. This does not give the bus absolute priority or require every driver to stop in every case. The bus driver must signal the manoeuvre and take precautions to avoid accidents. The specific obligation to stop if needed concerns departure from signposted stops within built-up areas.
