Cevap

Give the cyclist plenty of room and hold back to allow them to carry out their turn
Under Highway Code Rule 187, cyclists and horse riders may choose to stay in the left-hand lane of a roundabout even when they intend to turn right. They do this because navigating across multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic can be hazardous on a bicycle. Drivers approaching or following must be patient, hold back, and allow them plenty of time and room to complete their manoeuvre safely.
