You wouldn't think so, if you drove down the A660 into Leeds each day - there is a cycle lane most of the way, but the very high number of motorists I see most days cutting into it, without looking to see if there is a cyclist close by, as they undertake because another car is turning right.
When I passed my driving test in West Berlin in the 70's, we were always taught to look over our right shoulder when turning, in case a cyclist was in your blind spot - neither of my kids were taught this in the UK.
Whilst some cyclists can be a PITA weaving in and out, we car-drivers have to bear in mind we can do a lot more damage to them than they can to us in the event of a collision.
