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.

So at what point does it become the fault of the overtaker? A slow-moving
cyclist could take quite a few seconds to pass a stopped bus, and what if
the bus starts indicating just as the bike has passed the rear indicator?
