Or im getting a car up my arse at 30 mph

Feels to me like its ill thought out

Might work in congested city centres

That's the danger isn't it. I agree it doesn't seem at all sensible. That said no one should be so close that they run in the back of you, especially as you'll be slowing down gradually and not slamming on.

So, they're saying cars turning right have to wait whilst pricks on bikes overtake them?

We've been teaching similar for a long time

Left mirror before turning left, look for "BOB" (Boy On Bike)

Right mirror before turning right looking for "TOM" (Twat On Motorbike)

I refer to them all as "PODs" (Potential Organ Donors)

How does this work in reality? I'm not being obtuse here but I drove like 4 miles yesterday and had to avoid 2 scrotes on an offroad scrambler with no lights on near the Rocket and half a dozen clowns on e-scooters round Tonge Moor. Where do they rank?

I took my test in 1974. In my first lesson my instructor said to me 

‘All pedestrians have right of way’

Its simple. We are all pedestrians. 
Some of us drive cars. Some of us ride bicycles and cars. Some of of us ride motor scooters. Some ride dirty greasy motorcycles.

We are all pedestrians though.
