I see this as a matter of courtesy in many cases. If @doppelkorn has enough time to slow to allow an indicating, waiting driver to turn, then somebody on a bike who zooms up behind him and blithely continues on has either completely failed to read the road ahead or they're just a rude, selfish cunt. IMO. I doubt a courtesy stop when somebody else in front of you has already made a courtesy stop has ever killed anyone. I'm not reading anything in doppelkorn's post about those drivers who just slam over into the next lane without giving a fuck about who's there (tho they are utter dangerous pricks, obvs, and more so than the selfish/oblivious twats in circumstance #1 who only endanger themselves).

if the cyclist is moving straight on in the bus lane and the car is only indicating to turn left across the lane then the cyclist has the priority.
