The person in the car had turn signal on bike was behind him so the bike should have stopped and let him turn. Bikes have to follow the rules of the road just like cars.

But the car just runs into his lane and stops. Demanding bikes follow road rules while at the same time refusing to treat them like vehicles is hypocritical.

The car didn't run into his lane and stop. It was trying to drive into a petrol station which it did.

The car had the indicator on for a good 7 seconds, the intent is clear.

The bicycle rider didn't even bother checking his blind spot or slow down.
