On an ordinary single carriageway road, such as the one up Box Hill, you cannot legally or safely pass a cyclist without being in the opposing carriageway, because you have to leave a safe gap of around 1.5 metres between your car and the cyclist.

So it doesn't matter if the cyclist is single file or two-abreast, so still have to move into the opposing carriageway, whatever happens.
Which should be no problem for anyone allowed to be behind the wheel of a 2-tonne vehicle.

This thread is hilarious; a post about runners and the first reply starts moaning about cyclists...I suspect that it will have good legs and will run (pun intended) biggrin

Makes you wonder how some people make it through the day.

What's next - anti-social badgers? My goldfish ignores me?

Aggressive squirrels and deciduous trees dumping their leaves all over the place. Probably.

Jesus... So many motorists need to hand their licence back.

Hope they all get pinged - especially the driving instructor.

There's no wonder there's so much mutual contempt between a large proportion of drivers and cyclists.

Yeah, saw that this morning. I do hope they get a hefty fine, they are all on camera with their plates on display.

It looks like there were road works on the other side, hence the "detour", but that is no excuse really.

It shows the absolute entitlement of some drivers. That instructor should face a particularly hefty slap.
