It's plastered all over the DVA driving theory books to NOT overtake unless you're sure. And it's says everywhere to leave cyclists as much room as a car too. My instructor hammered that into me too.
I despair why do we even bother with driving exams/instructor audits if then once it goes to court the jury goes "Ah well, honest mistake".
