Left turns accross Cycle Lanes

[Newdriver2019]

Hi

A real quick question as I am unsure about this but a couple of years back there was talk of giving cyclists priority when in a cycle lane so as motor vehicles should give way when turning left and so crossing the cycle lane. Is this now law or not?

Would you cut across if there was a car on the lane on the inside? What a stupid question.

Thanks for taking the time out to replt, but to say "What a stupid question." is nonsense. If it was a stupid question I would have a stream of replies saying either yes the law has changed or no the law didnt change. There seems to be a mixed selection of replies.

So what was your answer, motor vehicles have priority over cycles (so cyclists should slow and wait if a motorist is turning turn across a cycle lane or as you seem to suggest, motor vehicles should wait and as you say, not cut across?
