Synopsis: Cyclist in cycle lane has ample warning of articulated lorry
signaling to turn across the cycle lane. The reaction is to continue to
cycle almost up to the cab of the lorry, beep some farty little hooter, and
shout “There’s a new rule, mate. There’s a new rule, you’re supposed to
give way”.

A huge section of the Highway Code reproduced in the article doesn’t fully
support the cyclist’s actions, and some comments don’t support the
cyclist’s approach to the incident:

“I’d say on this particular occasion you should have slowed and made it a
non issue. Driver started the manouvre well ahead of you approaching the
junction.
If the driver turned when you’d be closer then of course they should give
way.”
