I am trying to build my confidence up overtaking cyclists as I’d always have anxiety with it..
today I was driving a normal 30mph road that had no other cars on it other than me! It was straight for a decent amount of time and I had a cyclist in front of me! I finally felt like I could do this without overthinking and coming away worrying!!
so I did it, I went into the other lane next to me to give the cyclist plenty of space and then checked my mirrors and moved back over when could see them in my centre mirror!
anyway I then started worrying!! I was worrying and still am worrying because I overtook before/on/after a crossing( I say before/on/after because I can’t remember the exact point but was near it ( nobody on or near the crossing and it was a traffic light controlled one) but it was a crossing with a fair amount of distance before/on and after of zig zag lines!
i think?? This is ok if nobody is crossing and it’s a cyclist it’s safe to overtake on them and you can’t overtake a car/ motor vehicle but bikes are ok!
advice please? Been feeling rubbish all afternoon thinking I’ve done it wrong!
