I can imagine our Roland stopping on a nice straight road, on a bus stop
(no
layby!) when a bus comes along, and stops next to his car, with the front
of
the bus close to the kerb in front of his cae, back of the bus close to
the
kerb behind his car, and middle of the bus out in the middle of the road
next to his car.

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.

You are surely not going to pull out with the bus starting to pass you?

The bus is pulling in behind me (according to the scenario I was
responding to).

Not if the front of it is still doing 10 mph or so and is only a yard or so
behind you car about to pass it. (the scenario I am alluding to).

Most likely I'd have had to overtake the said bus quarter of a mile
before the stop in order for it to be catching me up again within the 30
second window it takes me to drop off. So I'd probably not do the
overtaking, and drop my passenger off after/behind the bus.
