Cevap

Hold back behind the cyclists until you have passed the bend and have a clear view ahead, and allow at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) of clearance when overtaking once it is safe.
Cyclists are legally entitled to ride two abreast, which can improve their visibility and safety in groups or on narrow roads. Drivers must wait patiently behind them when visibility is restricted, such as before a blind bend. When an overtake is safe, drivers must give cyclists at least 1.5 metres of clearance at speeds up to 30 mph, and more space at higher speeds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the upcoming road geometry and potential hidden hazards
Identify that the sharp bend prevents a clear view of oncoming traffic, making immediate overtaking unsafe.
Overtaking without a clear view ahead risks a head-on collision with oncoming vehicles.
2
Maintain a safe following distance behind the cyclists until visibility improves
Keep a steady, calm speed behind both riders without pressuring or startling them.
Cyclists are permitted to ride two abreast, and drivers must wait patiently for a safe overtaking opportunity.
3
Execute the overtake only when the road is clear, providing ample lateral clearance
Pass the riders with at least 1.5 metres of clearance.
Compliance with Highway Code Rule 163 protects vulnerable road users from sudden gusts of wind, balance adjustments, or surface hazards.
