But surely the cyclist doesn't pay road tax so shouldn't have been there in the first place!

Also if the other car hadn't been going so slow then the driver wouldn't have been forced to overtake.

It's clearly all the fault of the university for allowing cycling on campus.

Would the Toyota driver have seen the cyclist if he had had one of those bright strobing LED lights on the front?

Because it has conditional access either side through the use of barriers here and here.

"Place place" means different things within different legislation. It would be a public place for public order offences, for example.
