New Highway Code - when do drivers have to give way to cyclists?
The new Highway Code states that drivers turning left and right must give way to cyclists coming from behind them. Does this mean drivers waiting at the crown of the road to turn right must check for cyclists coming from behind in the middle of the road down their offside or does this just apply in a one-way street scenario?

The requirement to give cyclists going straight priority at junctions applies in all situations (unless sign, road markings or signals indicate otherwise) and not just one-way streets.
