Indeed - Highway Code rule 167.
"DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example, approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road"
Motorbikes are certainly not exempt: if anything they should be even more careful to avoid 'conflict', since they usually end up second best. -
