the lane assist doesn't realise I may have a reason for drifting out of the lane be that an obstacle, a bicyclist, construction or otherwise.

Where I live you are meant to indicate in such scenarios and then the lane assist will not complain.

    If it is a time-sensitive obstacle, I am not going to think about signalling before manouvering. As for construction zones no one signals when they cross lines here when there is an obvious right of way. If I saw someone else signal halfway through a construction zone I'd wonder if they were turning off...

    You are right that it can sometimes solve the issue, especially with cyclists and the like, but I still find the feature obnoxious.
