You're about to turn left across a bicycle lane with a cyclist approaching from behind on your left. What must you do?

Straddle the bicycle lane early to block it
Turn quickly before the cyclist arrives
Give way to the cyclist — check your mirror and blind spot before turning
Sound your horn so the cyclist slows down

Show answer & explanationHide answer

Correct answer: Give way to the cyclist — check your mirror and blind spot before turning

When turning left you must not cut across a cyclist travelling straight through in the bicycle lane. Check your left mirror and do a head check before every left turn — cyclists move faster than they appear.
