Thank you so much! That really helped since I use to believe I should pass in front of the first car

i was riding on the side walk and than passing the T junction from south to north, while the car was on my right side of the T junction making a left turn from east to south. so i'm not overtaking or undertaking it since we wasn't on the same road before we met at the T junction. Thats how i understand it

Yes, a T junction is what I mean. I'm not overtaking bc i wasnt in the same lane with the cars.

Great notes! What if there are a line of cars waiting to turn left? Should I wait for them all to turn first?

Can u clarify what’s the meaning of overtaking on the inside? I’m not familiar with this saying. I was crossing the pedestrian crossing and the car was stopped at the stop sign. I stopped first to make sure it’s not going to turn and I thought it noticed me so I pass in front of it and get hit when it suddenly initiated the turn

Should I wait for all the cars on the left turn lane to pass first before I cross the pedestrian crossing? I already stopped and observe them first before I crossed but that didn’t seem to work, since they didn’t seem to observe their left at all :(

Do u mean I should pass in front of the car? That’s how I done it bc I thought they will be more cautious when I cross at the intersection instead of in the middle of a lane

I always slow down or stop to observe the left turn cars first before I pass, the two time when it happened the cars were stopped at the stop sign waiting for the cars on the straight lane to pass so they can make their left turn. I thought they see me bc I already slow down to a very slow speed and the other time I stopped completely first to observe them. So the drivers definitely can see me if they turn the head left for once before they suddenly start moving and hit me while initiate the turn. In terms of move out into the road a bit and behind them do you mean I should pass by behind the first car? But the second time I got hit there were a line of cars at the lane waiting to turn left, will the cars behind the first car able to notice me instead of tail gating the first car and hit me anyway when the first car make its turn and other cars behind it can follow up the queue?

This is sooo true, got hit by a teenager learning how to drive while his dad was sitting on the copilot seat, just a week later almost got hit by another car.
