There is none, but there is the "primary" position that appears to the uneducated as "riding in the middle of the road".

In the video the cyclist appears to be riding in a designated cycle lane, I suppose the motorcyclist 'accidentally' rode in the cycle lane.

It was deliberate as was the collision.

Anyone with an IQ greater than a potato knows this.
Nugents will say it was just a 'Miscalculation'.

Hit and run driver gets hit with a fine and ban.

QUOTE:
A biker crashed into a cyclist after telling him he shouldn’t be cycling in the middle of the road.

Dale Campbell, 24, repeatedly pulled alongside the cyclist on Auchmill Road and Oldmeldrum Road in Aberdeen, driving in an “erratic manner� and gesticulating, telling him he should not be in the centre of the lane.

Eventually he got too close and collided with the cyclist’s leg, before both men fell to the ground and Campbell got up and drove away on November 11.

Fiscal depute Susan Love told Aberdeen Sheriff Court: “At around 4.40pm a man was cycling home at the locus heading west. He did not know the accused.

“At this time he became aware of a male, the accused, wearing a motorcycle helmet and riding a white Honda motor vehicle.

“The motorcyclist pulled up alongside him and advised him he should not be cycling in the centre of lane one.

Was the now banned driver in the police?

"Deter unsafe passes". Oh my!

Standing in the middle of a road often deters drivers from using that
space ... but not always.

Riding in the gutter only encourages close passes and not the requisite 1.5m distance.

Isn't there an official Government publication about road use.
ISTR it is called The Highway Code and recommends cycling in the centre of the lane.

You failed to cite which rule of the Highway Code you're referring to.

Rule 74 assumes a bike does NOT normally ride in the middle of the road.
