Zorluk: ZorConsideration for Vulnerable Road Users

Under the UK Highway Code (Rule H3), when a driver is preparing to turn left into a side road, they must not cut across the path of a cyclist proceeding straight ahead on their left, even if the vehicle's turn indicators were activated well in advance.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is true because the UK Highway Code (Rule H3) explicitly mandates that drivers must not cut across cyclists proceeding straight ahead when turning into or out of a junction, regardless of whether a turn signal was activated.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vulnerable road user and the proposed driving manoeuvre.
A cyclist is proceeding straight ahead on the near side (left) while the driver intends to turn left across their trajectory into a side road.
Establishing the spatial relationship and movement vectors of both road users is necessary to determine priority.
2
Apply Highway Code Rule H3 (Hierarchy of Road Users and junction turning rules).
Drivers must give way to cyclists proceeding straight ahead and avoid cutting across their path.
Rule H3 places greater responsibility on drivers of motor vehicles to protect more vulnerable road users moving ahead.
3
Evaluate whether indicating grants right of way across the cycle path.
Signalling does not grant priority; the driver must remain behind and wait for the cyclist to clear the junction.
A turn signal communicates intention but does not alter priority or remove the obligation to yield.
