In my opinion that was a brilliant idea and great thinking, there are double solid white lines down the middle of the road and the cyclist is doing less than 10mph so legally you can overtake the cyclist but you can’t overtake them because you can’t see around the bend and by the time you can see clearly and safely get around the cyclist you’re at the roundabout so it makes sense to go all the way around the roundabout and by the time you reach your required exit the cyclist is out of the way.
Thank you for your feedback, I covered this in my standards check a few years ago, I believe that if you are teaching someone to drive you should cover the what if's on lessons and show them how to respond to situations other that relying on luck... in other words nothing came up to challenge them so they would just be lucky and pass...thank you for watching my videos.
Sorry but would you do that as an experienced driving? You would either overtake quickly or stay behind the cyclist until after the roundabout so as not have to go all the way around. I would suggest "awareness planning" fault as per DL25 all day long
Thank you for your feedback, this was a novice driver that came across this situation, we covered a lot of what if's on lessons...they remembered when I was explaining about a different test a couple of years ago when a candidate was on test and there were about twenty odd cyclists going down the bypass approaching a roundabout, there were gaps between the cyclists... the examiner asked them to turn left at the roundabout.. trouble being the cyclists.. so they indicated right so they stayed clear of the cyclists and went around the roundabout.. the cyclists were then approaching the roundabout and they were the ones who had to give way to the right at the roundabout...I covered this particular topic on my standards check a few years ago...there are uses to this tactic and what's important is that it is safe and legal....thank you for taking the time to watch my video.
