Left Hand Turn

[Navy Maven]

Unfortunately, many cyclists - and many motorists for that matter - don't know the road rules and don't particularly care!

I did know the one about cyclists giving way to left turning vehicles.  That applies whether or not there is a bike lane.

It's a long time since I rode a motorbike but I believe that it is OK to lane split and to overtake a vehicle in the right lane on the right.  It's not OK to pass on the left of a vehicle in the left lane.

With regards to the lane splitting, from memory (after working in insurance claims) lane splitting is only permitted in stationary traffic, although that might have changed.
