As an example but not limited to:
Think three or more lane roads. i.e. two or more lanes going in the same direction.
One lane stationary due to traffic ahead preventing any further forward travel. The other lane is allowed to continue moving, unless and until a vehicle stops to allow the crossing to be used.
Or, in the instance mentioned, a bus stopped to allow passengers to alight or disembark, vehicles are allowed to pass it. You're not overtaking a stationary vehicle, you're passing it.
Overtaking is not allowed, passing is, unless the vehicle you're passing has stopped to allow pedestrians to cross.
Obviously, sensible drivers display due diligence when performing this manouvre.
Also, you're allowed to pass the vehicles stopped behind the lead vehicle, but not the lead vehicle, even though the lead vehicle has stopped to allow the crossing to be used.
Stictly speaking, only the lead vehicle has stopped to allow people to cross, the others have stopped because their forward travel is impeded.
