The campaign aims to promote the highway code rule that requires drivers to give at leadt 1.5 m space to cyclists when overtaking.

"The ad shows someone cycling on the road from a driver’s viewpoint, together with images of their life and loved ones in the space next to them.

Our message is that we’re all people, travelling on the road and wanting to get home safely. Dangerous and careless driving around people on bikes is risking someone’s life and risking serious legal consequences. "

    Scotland is just not bike friendly, our ‘cycle lanes’ are just a thin often mostly worn away white line painted on a road of normal width (Which for americans is already way narrower than your roads) and trying to actually cycle on them is tantamount to attempted suicide.

      Sounds to me like something to consider in the upcoming elections - a good issue to vote on.

      Definitely still illegal.
