Default Motorists face prosecution for driving too close to cyclists

QUOTE:
"Motorists who endanger cyclists by getting too close to them will be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention under a new scheme.

West Midlands Police have begun proceedings against 38 motorists for what is known as close passing - giving cyclists less than a metre-and-a-half of room.

Police officers on bikes equipped with cameras are patrolling busy roads and radioing ahead to patrol cars when they film bad driving, with most offenders being given roadside advice."
