yes, but cyclist inexperienced/lacking-training too - you don't leave gaps for close overtakes near islands, cyclist should have also heard the motor approaching much sooner ( ev @30-40 pretty quiet though) and taken better position. .... adage PPPP planning prevents - deathThis driver was zoned out. Lets assume that the cyclist didn't change their road position; the driver was approaching way too fast. With their speed the only outcomes was either a dangerous overtake or having to brake hard to not hit the rider.
A poor standard of driving and just shows that just because you are driving at the speed limit (or below) doesn't mean you are driving safely.
