Although in favour of speeding up buses, I wonder whether it might
better serve the interests of both bus users and motorists to introduce
a rule which makes it compulsory to let buses leaving a bus stop pull
out. Unfortunately I suspect the problem would be enforcement - on-bus
cameras might be an option, but they're expensive and it's another thing
for the driver to worry about.


Hmmm. I can foresee a slight problem with that - it won't be long before a
bus driver just pulls straight out into traffic without looking "because
they have to give way to me" and causes an accident. With any luck, it
won't be a motorbike or a bicycle that's going past him at the time.

Although surely if this rule were the case and the bus driver had
signalled to pull out, then whoever subsequently overtakes is the one
causing the accident rather than the bus driver.
