I have seen this before elsewhere and as I recall, it is just the press blowing piss and wind about a hypothetical possability you could be done for inconsiderate driving rather than there having been andy sort of primary or secondary legislation on a statuatory minimum overtaking distance.
Impoprtantly, the police would ultimately have to prove another driver had been inconvenienced by your driving in court in order to obtain a sucessful prosecution for inconsiderate driving. Which woud presumably mean dragging the specific cyclist you overtook in too and asking them.
Unless someone else knows different? If they do, chapter and verse please... ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

In addition, most NSL B roads are not wide enough to safely and considerately pass a single cyclist when there is oncoming traffic, so riding 2 abreast actually makes no difference. If anything, they're doing you a favour.

There is actually a law for careless cycling under the road traffic act I'm sure. S28/29 I think, can't be bothered to verify right now though. |
There may well be, but with very little visible policing nowadays, the main way to nick anyone for road traffic offences is via camera and a registration system.
Something cyclists are quite aware of as they cycle up pavements, go through red lights and the wrong way up one way streets, all with no visible means of identification.
The problem of adults riding around on pavements without lights, is really growing where I live over the last couple of years. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
