In Lancashire, the driving schools even train new drivers to remain within the left lane while overtaking a cyclist at this black spot for the offence: approaching the crest of a hill followed by a right-hand bend. Green Pass Training claims on its website: "All Green Pass assessors have to go through vigorous internal training lasting 6 months, once this is completed our driving assessors are subject to a further half a day training every 6 months conducted by ex-traffic police this gives the directors of Green Pass the confidence that all our assessors will deliver our training to the highest possible standards". The problem there is that Lancashire Constabulary does not believe that it's ever possible to pass too closely to a cyclist, and has never conducted 'a close pass operation'. The police will ignore this case.
