Cevap
Cross the solid white line to overtake the cyclist, provided it is safe and you give sufficient clearance
Under Highway Code Rule 129, drivers must not cross or straddle a double white line where the line nearest to them is solid, except under specific circumstances. One recognized exception allows crossing the line to pass a pedal cycle, horse rider, or road maintenance vehicle travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, provided the road ahead is clear and safe, and at least 1.5 metres of passing clearance is given.
