I don’t understand how some drivers pass cyclists so closely, it says in the Highway Code to leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds of up to 30mph, and give them more space when overtaking at higher speeds, obviously for some of us it’s difficult to judge 1.5 metres of space but when overtaking a cyclist treat them as if they were a car, give them as much space as you would when overtaking a car, that’ll make sure you give them adequate clearance when you overtake them, you have to think of the worst, what if they wobble and fall off their bike as I’m passing them, that’s why you give them plenty of space when you overtake them.
How wide is your bike? The centreline of a cyclist should be within around 75cm of the curb, which is far enough to miss any drain covers, while allowing other road users to pass.
No, the rider positions themselves in the road as appropriate at _their_ discretion. It is for teh overtaking party to perform their overtake in a safe manner. Try HWC 163, there's even a picture to help the hard of reading
@@bestbehave The latest Highway Code has several stupid new rules. In situations where vehicles are passing a cyclist, common sense dictates that if the lane width is sufficient wide, you give them room.
@@cs7th the rules aren’t different, they’ve been clarified. If you think they’re stupid, you could of course have participated in the widely publicised consultation that went on for months.
@@gehteuchnixan69 I think most people drive cars nowadays, I recommend you do the same. Sadly we don't live in Amsterdam, cars are super cheap in the UK.

How wide are you?
So this happened a week ago and you claim to already know the outcome. BS.
@lolzlolz102 extra eyes service from Essex Police produce outcomes very quickly, usually within 2 days, but can be up to a week.
We know your outcome. Stupid
Plenty of spaaaaace
Tell me you've never ridden a bike on public roads before without telling me you've never ridden a bike on public roads

Nah, 1.5m minimum is the requirement. If you are having difficulty guaging distance you might want an eye test, and/or extra driving lessons
