You are signaling a right turn at an intersection. A bicyclist on your right is riding straight through the intersection. What should you do?
A intends to turn right while a cyclist on A’s right continues straight. The cyclist is alongside A near the intersection, so the two intended paths conflict.
Correct answer: Yield and wait for the bicyclist to go through before you turn.
Why
Bicyclists have the same rights and duties on the road as drivers of vehicles, so a rider going straight has priority over a car turning across that path. Before any right turn, check your mirror and look over your right shoulder, because a bicycle can be hidden in your blind spot. Never turn in front of a rider who may not be able to stop quickly.
