Cycle lanes are not extensions of Give Way road markings. A warning letter has been sent to the registered keeper of the Peugeot, so any future allegations may result in prosecution if the manner of their driving does not improve.
This was at the junction of London Road and Mill Hill Lane in Leicester, UK.
Rule 172 of the Highway Code:
The approach to a junction may have a ‘Give Way’ sign or a triangle marked on the road.
You MUST give way to traffic on the main road when emerging from a junction with broken white lines across the road.
Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD schedule 9 parts 7 and 8
Rule H3 – Rule for drivers and motorcyclists
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. This applies whether they are using a cycle lane, a cycle track, or riding ahead on the road and you should give way to them.
Do not turn at a junction if to do so would cause the cyclist, horse rider or horse drawn vehicle going straight ahead to stop or swerve. You should stop and wait for a safe gap in the flow of cyclists if necessary.
This includes when cyclists are:
• approaching, passing or moving off from a junction
• moving past or waiting alongside stationary or slow-moving traffic
• travelling around a roundabout
