Narrow country lanes leave little room, yet some drivers still pass dangerously close. Give cyclists space!

Drivers, don’t cut it close. Leaving space when turning or overtaking is crucial for cyclist safety.

Bike lanes are designed to keep cyclists safe — but that only works when drivers treat those lines as boundaries, not suggestions.

Way too close. Drivers, give cyclists the space they deserve.

This driver attempted a head-on overtake directly into a cyclist’s path. Safe passing isn’t optional — it’s mandatory.

A whole lane clear, yet this driver still chose to pass dangerously close. There’s no excuse — give cyclists space.

Bike lanes only work when drivers respect them. The paint doesn’t protect cyclists — driver awareness does.

Not watching the road. Straight through the bike lane. This is why cyclists need protection.

Far too close! This truck passes dangerously close to a cyclist — a reminder that a few extra seconds and a safe distance can make all the difference.
