It’s a very windy day and you’re about to overtake a cyclist. What should you do?

A: Overtake very slowly

B: Keep close as you pass

C: Sound your horn repeatedly

D: Allow extra room

Cyclists, and motorcyclists, are very vulnerable in high winds. They can easily be blown well off course and veer into your path. Always allow plenty of room when overtaking them. Passing too close could cause a draught and unbalance the rider.
