Cross the solid white line to overtake the cyclist if the road ahead is clear and it is safe to do so.
Under UK Highway Code Rule 129, drivers must not cross or straddle a continuous white line on their side of the road. However, an exception is specifically made allowing drivers to cross the line to pass a stationary vehicle, or to overtake a pedal cycle, horse, or road maintenance vehicle travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, provided the road ahead is clear and the manoeuvre can be executed safely.
