Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Give way

In a built-up area, a bus is indicating to pull out from a bus stop and displays a 'GIVE WAY' sign on the back. What must you do?

The answer

  • Maintain your speed - buses must give way to through traffic
  • Give way to the bus if you are in the left lane or left line of traffic Correct
  • Give way only once the bus has fully left the stop
  • Sound your horn and pass

Why that's the answer

In a built-up area you must give way to a bus pulling out from a stop when it is indicating and displays a 'GIVE WAY' sign on the back. The duty falls on the driver in the left lane or left line of traffic, which is the one whose path the bus is entering - Drive Safe states the rule, and the Road Traffic Code 2000 (reg 59) carries that condition.
