    1.5m to overtake one cyclist brings you only partially onto the otherside of the road.

    1.5m to overtake two cyclists astride brings you fully onto the otherside of the road

      exactly, either way you need to make sure there isn’t any oncoming traffic.

        depends how deliberately badly you’re both driving I suppose

          ??? You expect the other driver to drive on the fucking shoulder because you can’t wait literally half a second to pass a cyclist??

              Okay, so walk me through this. This is what I got.

              Guy: You have to wait just as long to pass one cyclist as two abreast.

              You: I only take up half a lane to pass a lone cyclist.

              Me: So you have to wait until the lane is clear.

              You: No, I am a good driver.

              Me: WTF?!
