This one was very close. The driver has taken and completed a driver education course as an alternative to prosecution. They could clearly see me, they just were not bothered.
Junction of London Road and Highfield Street in Leicester, UK.
Rule H3 of the Highway Code:
You should not cut across cyclists, horse riders or horse drawn vehicles going ahead when you are turning into or out of a junction or changing direction or lane, just as you would not turn across the path of another motor vehicle.
Even though this is a ‘should’ rather than a ‘must’ rule, people on bicycles are still incredibly vulnerable compared to people in cars who are protected by 2 two tonnes on metal.
