When overtaking bicycles, you must allow a distance between you and the rider of at least:
• 1m when the speed limit is 60km/h or less
• 1.5m when the speed limit is more than 60km/h.
You can cross double dividing lines when overtaking a bicycle.
To overtake a bicycle, you should have a clear view of approaching traffic. Only overtake if it’s safe to do so.
If necessary, when overtaking a bicycle you can:
• drive to the right of the centre of the road
• cross or straddle dividing lines (broken or continuous, single or double)
• drive on flat painted islands and median strips.
Bicycles can overtake a vehicle on the left.
