Buses need room to pull away from stops, particularly in built-up areas. Watch for signals, passengers near the kerb and gaps that may close quickly. A driver who keeps a safe following distance has more time to respond without harsh braking or sudden steering.
Where it is safe and appropriate, ease off early and allow the bus space. Do not overtake if it would put pedestrians, cyclists or other road users at risk. The aim is not to rush past; it is to stay predictable and in control.
Key revision point: Early observation creates options—last-second reactions remove them.
