As I'm only stopping to let someone out, by the time I've seen the bus
coming I'll have dumped the passenger off and be beating a retreat.

If you let a passenger out where you shouldn't be stopped, would you
be insured?

I would be, because there's no actual prohibition on me stopping.

There would be if the bus stop was in a bus lane, a situation I see
practically every day.

But I wouldn't be stopped there, because that's prohibited (rather than
advised against).

And in any case, we don't see normal car drivers having insurance claims
turned down for minor infringements (eg getting scraped while parked
part on the pavement or too close to a junction) so I don't think the
insurance companies worry about that kind of thing.
