Hey guys,
Just a quick check...
Say I am driving on the left most lane of a road and the traffic is flowing (ie. green light in front). Just as I was driving pass a bus stop, the bus suddenly drove out of the bus bay, cutting into my lane, almost causing an accident (with me of course). I am a very careful driver, wasn't speeding, and had been in the leftmost lane all along, my headlamps were on.
Do I have the "right of way "or am i obliged to give way to the bus even though the traffic was flowing? (courtesy driving aside ) Does the presence of a yellow box give the bus the right of way even if the traffic was flowing? IF the leftmost lane was a bus lane, does it give the bus the right of way to come out from the bus bay then?
I am inclined to think that I had the right of way, but just need to confirm before I can feedback to the relevant parties.
Thanks in advance!
