Default How to pass a slow cyclist

This is how such a difficult manoeuvre is carried out.

Yes - all of a massive ten seconds.
I had to have a fouled mouth anti-cyclist rant on Twitter afterwards.

Where does the Highway Code say that?

It seems perfectly logical, if a car is supposed to pass a bike
leaving 6ft space no matter what the relative velocities a bike should
surely keep 6ft away from a car when performing a similar maneuver. If
push bike riders feel this is far too much, and it is OK to pass
within inches then the same must be true for a motor vehicle passing a
push bike would it not?

It doesn't of course - it says this.

So you think the Highway Code does not apply to you.

As I have said before, safe driving is about attitude.
Why are moronists willing to wait patiently to pass a horse but not a bicycle.

Anything over a foot or so is quite enough to satisfy even the HC.
