Can you use the bus lane to overtake a vehicle that is signalling to turn right?

  • A.Yes, if the bus lane is empty and you signal first
  • B.No, bus lanes are strictly for buses only
  • C.Only if the vehicle is stopped completely
  • D.Yes, but only during off-peak hours

Detailed Solution:

Correct Answer: Yes, if the bus lane is empty and you signal first

In jurisdictions like Australia and South Australia, you can use a bus lane for up to 100 meters to overtake a vehicle signalling right, helping traffic flow; always check for buses, signal, and ensure safety. In the UK, it’s generally prohibited except to avoid obstructions, per Highway Code Rule 141.
