Other road users

When I learned to drive in Denmark, was told to pull right next to the kerb to block cyclist coming up on your inside into your blind spot.

Even on roundabouts the other road users gave way to us. We were on the cycle lane, and were overtaken with plenty of distance to the roundabout. The car entered the round about and stopped at the first exit, we then arrived at the roundabout. We were normally cautious, and entered the roundabout and wondered why the car was waiting there. Only to find out that the driver was giving way to us. This wouldn’t happen in London.

In general other road users gave much more space to cyclists. Which is great, but that led to cyclists not looking much as they relied on others to give way.

Generally the other road users did give plenty of space.
