At a row of buses at Oakleigh station, bus 1 (at the back) pulls out and is passing the parked ones. Half-way along the row one of the other buses flicks on their indicator and pulls out without the driver appearing to look. Sharp stop of bus 1, much hooting. I guess the following applies to buses giving way to buses as well, but when both drivers have the attitude "I'm in a bus, I have right of way", it nearly got messy</p><p>"In a built-up area you must give way to a bus that is signalling to pull out from the kerb and is displaying a 'Give Way To Buses' sign."</p>
