A question now for the team.... long straight urban road, 30 mph limit, traffic stationary for as far as the eye can see..... lots of cycle lane on the LHS clear and unused. Steady stream of oncoming traffic..... as a general principle overtake the traffic using the cycle lane.... or on the RHS of the stationary traffic which would force me to cross the central (long-broken) white line.... and hence be most def. riding into the oncoming traffic. but.... is of course where drivers expect to see overtaking vehicles.
Neither side, left or right, going to give me the distance I'd usually want from either the kerb or stationary cars either....
