Cevap

Stay behind the cyclist and allow them to pass the junction before you turn.
Under the Highway Code, drivers must not cut across cyclists going ahead when turning into or out of a junction or changing direction. You should remain behind the cyclist and wait patiently until they have passed the junction safely before making your turn.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the developing situation ahead
Identify that a cyclist is riding on your nearside and you are approaching a left turn.
Cyclists are vulnerable road users who may be proceeding straight ahead past the junction.
2
Apply the safe junction protocol under the Highway Code
Hold back behind the cyclist and wait for them to clear the junction before initiating the turn.
Cutting across a cyclist's path to make a left turn is illegal and a primary cause of severe left-hook collisions.
