Cyclists do need to be careful, but it is just as important for motorised vehicle drivers to pay them special attention and follow the highway code: 

• Cyclists are road users by right; apart from specific cases quoted in the highway road, they have an automatic right to be on the road; 
• You need to leave a distance of 1.5m between you when overtaking a bicycle. The side wind from a passing vehicle can easily unbalance a cyclist; 
• Other vehicle are not allowed to use cycles lanes; 
• Watch out for cyclists when opening a side door; 
• And be aware that cyclists may go around stationary vehicles at an intersection or level crossing on the right – with extreme care.
