  • What's more dangerous, lorries, or people who ignore other road users indicating?

    i'll take 'an industry that habitually employs provably dangerous individuals as a result of an almost non-existent system of checks and balances on their suitability to operate a 20 ton vehicle with demonstrably poor design in the public domain' for ten.

  • Does that absolve responsibility of cyclists passing left-indicating vehicles on the inside?

    Two scenarios:

    1. A lorry ahead of me is indicating left. I wait, the lorry turns, I continue.
    2. A lorry ahead of me is indicating left. I continue travelling on my path as if it is not there, and get knocked off.

    Who has created the danger there?

    Presumably if you were indicating right and somebody on a bike overtook you, you would be annoyed?

  • Who has created the danger there?

    The lorry. Although in scenario 1 you have avoided the danger.

  • If a driver is in the outside lane, indicating they wish to turn left and another driver is in the inside lane proceeding straight on who has created the danger in scenario 1 and 2?

    In both cases it is the driver who is turning left.

    So now lets consider a cyclist in a cycle lane wishing to go straight on and a left indicating vehicle, who is creating the danger?

    In both cases it is still the driver wishing to turn left.

  • A lorry ahead of me is indicating left. I continue travelling on my path as if it is not there, and get knocked off.

    The driver have the responsibilities to ensure it's safe to turn.
