Car passing a bicycle with substantial velocity difference and there will be a substantial volume of disturbed air around the car that could destabilise cyclist. Car drivers usually oblivious to thier external aero effect until you point out specifc places where this is noticable like right filter lane at traffic lights with traffic in both directions going past at ~30mph causing car to shake.
Bicycle passing slow moving car, aero effects barley noticable.
One of these circumstances requires a 1.5m of space or so to safely pass, one of these requires not catching mirrors with elbows. The 1.5m guidance exists for the operators of vehicles mostly oblivious to their own aero effects, becase a rule that varies geometricly (like braking distance) would be far to complicated and impractical.
The article is pretty awful though "According to experts", which experts? Has this 1.5m been through a test case? is it in a peer revieweid achadmic journal or repute? or the opinion of an expert cyclist? And what law? I'd be guesing it's handled under careless /inconsiderate driving but this article reads like someone read a bad article in the daily mai lthat at least named sources but had to cut those out to get past the plaigarism detector? |
So, do lorries and cars always have to give pedestrians a 1.5M wide berth? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Something that does annoy me about push bikes is them being used on NSL dual carriageways when there are cycle paths/roads for the same route.
In Milton Keynes there are redways for cyclists and walkers that allow you to go everywhere in the city without hitting any of the dual carriageways or the A5 yet cyclists including kids, families and the lycra mob still use the main roads.
Edit to add -
That's of course when they aren't hurtling down the canal towpath ringing their bells like a demented campanologist expecting you to jump out of their way even when you are trying to tie up an 18 ton canal boat. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

The trick with ones who expect you to jump out of your way is to not jump out their way. They will brake and swerve. |
