Mr Loophole tells drivers to 'give cyclists more room' when overtaking... cycling
Addressing the new year as an opportunity for positive change, Loophole said he drives up to 50,000 miles a year and sees"so much bad driving".
"We see the new year as a time to press the refresh button," he said."But I'd like to see motorists pledge to make changes to their driving too. I drive up to 50,000 miles a year and see so much bad driving on our roads. "Yet if motorists kicked bad habits they could make the roads safer for all users – and keep themselves out of trouble too. Unlike embarking on, say, an extensive weight loss programme or taking on a significant career change, my new year motoring resolutions require little effort."But dropping bad habits will hopefully make 2023 a safer driving experience for all of us."
Adding to his explanation of the need to give cyclists at least 1.5m when overtaking, he also urged drivers to maintain safe distances between vehicles and to give the driver in front a"short, sharp beep on the horn" if they appear distracted.We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
