Surely it shouldn't be one rule for buses and one rule for the rest of the road users!
I would assume due to the nature of buses pulling in to bus stop laybys and then having to re-enter traffic is a special rule for them. Surely you've seen the stickers of the bus driver with his thumb out say " thanks for letting me out" and then "high way code ruleXXX"
