Attitude
You are about to overtake a cyclist on a windy, wet day. How should the weather change the way you pass?
- Pass closer than usual to spend less time alongside
- Give them even more room than you normally wouldCorrect
- Overtake faster so the wind affects you less
- Expect the cyclist to hold a perfectly straight line
Why?
Rule 212 of The Highway Code says give motorcyclists and cyclists at least as much room as a car, and take extra care and give more space in bad weather, including high winds. Wind and wet surfaces can push a cyclist off their line.
