The miserable faction will no doubt be up in arms about why they should
give 1.5m when overtaking a *moving* cyclist but the cyclist is not
required to give the same gap when overtaking their *stationary* vehicle.

Besides, almost everybody (vocal cyclists included) will fail to notice
that it is 1.5m wheel to wheel, not mirror to elbow. A strange omission
by whatever government organistion put this forward.
