Q #415 - When you're overtaking a cyclist, you should leave as much room as you would give to a car. What's the main reason for this?
Before overtaking, assess the situation. Look well ahead to see whether the cyclist will need to change direction. Be especially aware of a cyclist approaching parked vehicles, as they'll need to alter course. Don't pass too closely or cut in sharply.
The cyclist might speed up
The cyclist might get off their bike
The cyclist might swerve
The cyclist might have to make a left turn
