Sometimes the real world and the highway code differ. Not shoulder checking is suicidal in london traffic. Where is the common sense? As a member of the pedestrian community I try to look and comply, but believe that standing at zebra crossing staring at phone for couple of seconds it would be blah blah blah its friday

I agree - that said any driver should be overtaking wide and at a decent, safe speed (meaning that the will not hit someone turning right unless they do it suddenly) or driving a safe distance back so that they do not hit an idiot who onl signals and does not check.
As an individual I try to cycle as well as I can and both signal and look, because not looking is dangerous. As a member of the cycling community I believe that signalling and moving slowly to the right without looking would be perfectly safe if ever driver drove as they should.
