Overtaking cyclists.

"Drivers need to leave enough space for cyclists when they overtake them or face a £100 fine. The Highway Code states there should be 4ft 11in (1.5 metres) between the car and cyclist - around the width of a car door."

Which section or sub-section, of which Act of Parliament, is the Daily
Mail (or, for that matter, the Highway Code) quoting?

Mind you, it's easy to agree that it's about time that cyclists were
prohibited from overtaking other vehicles, on either side, with less
than a 2 metre clearance. In the absence of codified identification
marks on cycles or cyclists, the offence would have to be an arrestable
one, with citizen's arrests encouraged, as I'm sure you'll agree.
