Driver are already pretty good with cyclists, however I feel that the driving instructor should mentioned cyclists in their lesson, as I've notice that a lots of them never even mentioned them once.
When I was taught in 2004, I finished my lesson without knowing how to deal with cyclists at all, just how to work with other motorised vehicles and how to prepared in case says, a peds step out of the road, probably because at the time it wasn't important as there weren't as much cyclists as there are nowadays, but I did learn how to work with the traffic which I then later learn that cyclists are part of the traffic and able to work with them.
All the driving instructor nowadays simply need to do is point out that cyclists are part of the traffic and treat it as if it were a motorised vehicle.
