• another one i wanted to query (captured on the same ride incidentally)
    i was in a 'bike lane' which is just a painted line at the side of a road, and was passed pretty close and fast by this white van.
    does this constitute a close pass though as i was in my lane and they were in theirs, or should they technically still give 1.5m?
    i guess if it was a raised segregated bike path then no?

    Lanes is irrelevant. They should still give you 1.5 Metres.
    Unfortunately most drivers seem to think that 'i was in my lane and they were in theirs' is the correct behaviour. I believe this is why Chris Boardman petitions against this type of lane.

  • I wouldn't cycle in that "cycle lane".
