Close shave in a 1.5 metre zone

5 years ago in Sydney, Australia

The safe minimum passing distance in this 80 kph zone is 1.5 metres.

This is a hot spot with many speeders ignoring this rule endangering cyclist's lives.

Impatient drivers are wrongfully using the slow left lane to pass the other 2 lanes, regardless of cyclists keeping left in the kerbside lane.
