Near Miss of the Day 495: A close pass of two cyclists with nothought of slowing down
QUOTE:
Two for the price of one today as a motorist passes not just one, but two cyclists far too closely when overtaking. The incident occurred near New Milton in Hampshire, on September 13. “Ploughs past us like we aren’t there,” observes Gaz, who sent us the footage. As a measure of just how close the overtake was, it’s worth pointing out that the cyclist in front was riding between the double yellow lines. Gaz was further out. Despite the other cyclist’s kerb-hugging position, the motorist appears to have little room for manoeuvre to the left or the right as they pass due to the oncoming truck. It is not a wide lane. https://road.cc/content/news/near-mi...yclists-278539 |

So you agree the victim should have cycled in the middle of the lane in accordance with the Highway Code. |
