[QUOTE="PROCNA2018, post: 7088342, member: 43313"] I understand that a motorist would find it difficult to pass a cyclist safely on the stretch of road. As for the right to do it per the rules of the road - nothing in the rules of the road says they can't. Certainly not he road markings. At a stretch the "SHOULD" in the rules of the road to "give a little more space for a lot more safe" (pg 54 if you're interested) says that a driver who attempts to pass there should give extra space when overtaking a cyclist, as they may need to avoid uneven road surfaces and obstacles. As a driver I interpret that to mean, if I can't pass them safely I shouldn't. It doesn't say I am not allowed. By the way you keep making this about rights and us v them and you were the one using the rules of the road in your argument. Like the other individual everyone should have the expectation to be able to travel on the roads and get from a to be safely, by travelling with due care and attention towards all road users. You seem to think cyclists get to pick and choose. [/QUOTE]
