Another cyclist has died and three others are injured after a poorly executed overtaking manoeuvre. While saying as to weather a minimum metre rule would of stopped this tragedy it is not possible, it may have meant the driver would of given them a little more leeway who knows. The fact is with no minimum distance there is no current enforceable guide to what should of been the minimum clearance between the driver and the cyclist.
It is strange how a tragedy like this becomes more focused right when the Queensland Parliament is looking into enacting a minimum passing distance.
Like before my condolences go out to the family & friends involved.
