When driving behind a heavy goods vehicle that is signalling to turn right, what should a driver do?

Overtake it slowly on the inside by driving partly on the footpath if necessary.
See if the vehicle can complete the turn without stopping, and if not, overtake it yourself.
Stay behind until there is enough space to overtake it on the inside or until it has completed the turn.
Sound the horn and overtake the heavy goods vehicle on the right.

Explantion: Heavy goods vehicles need extra space on the road, and when they are turning the overhang of the vehicle may swing out into the path of overtaking or passing traffic. For that reason, it is a good idea to stay back and let the heavy goods vehicle complete its turn unless there is sufficient space to overtake safely.
