Driving too close to a cyclist could land you £100 fine - How far away do you need to be?
QUOTE:
"A new law was introduced earlier this year to protect cyclists on the road in Britain. The rule dictates that drivers must leave a minimum distance away from a cyclist when overtaking or travelling alongside a bicycle or they could face a punishment. UK drivers could be penalised with a £100 fine and three penalty points if caught travelling to close to a bicycle. The recommended distance a driver must leave between the car and cyclist is ***1.5-metres*** (EMPHASIS MINE) and if you’re caught overtaking under this then you could face the punishments." https://www.express.co.uk/life-style...ine-overtaking |
