If you stop on a bus stop with a private car, you can be prosecuted for
obstructing the stop and obstructing the highway.


If you park or "wait", perhaps. But not if you "stop" (which is the
technical expression for pausing to let passengers in/out).

Even then it's not guaranteed. At my last house there was a bus stop
almost outside, and cars would regularly park there all day. This was
completely ignored by police/wardens etc.

Read the Highway Code.


Para 215 only talks about "Bus stop clearways", not regular bus stops.
