there's a rule in the highway code which says you should give way for buses, which may trump some of the principles already discussed eg. who was overtaking the parked cars first etc:

Rule 223. Buses, coaches and trams. Give priority to these vehicles when you can do so safely, especially when they signal to pull away from stops. Look out for people getting off a bus or tram and crossing the road.

i always assumed the kind of issue you describe was bus drivers being dicks, until i read that rule. and now i don't know what to believe.

I've always understood that to be more about buses that are trying to pull back into the stream of traffic overtaking them rather than for oncoming traffic.

This.

Took the "new" route again though. It's nice and empty (at gym time) and has bends I can zoom around and the road isn't full of sunken pipes so when I have a hangover my brain isn't rattling around my skull.

Fuck you bus drivers! I win!
