    If there isn’t space to overtake two cyclists side by side, there isn’t space to overtake one cyclist. If there’s another car coming towards you while you overtake, you’d be endangering the one cyclist.

      1.5m to overtake one cyclist brings you only partially onto the otherside of the road.

      1.5m to overtake two cyclists astride brings you fully onto the otherside of the road

      @mondoman712 @felykiosa it depends a little onthe road in question, there are roads with a sinple lane wide enough that a single file of cyclists are passable without crossing into oncoming traffic, but two abreast isn’t.

      But we all know this isn’t what happened here. Driver just wanted to let his priveledge show.
