(UK) I did a close pass and need help
Hi everyone, fellow sensible cyclist here. I was driving 20mph when there were two cyclists ahead of me, each of them were on the left with one in front of the other. The one at the front decided to suddenly start veering right with zero indication nor hand signals etc. and then was in line with my right headlight and suddenly started slowing down, again with no indication at all of the manoeuvre. At this point I was driving about 15mph I checked on the dash, as he was slowing down I could not tell his next move as he was pedalling and braking pedalling and braking and I sped up to 20mph and moved slightly to the left to pass him as he was clearly not riding properly. However, at this point the other cyclist from the start of the story was on the left side and I did get slightly close to him unfortunately, I would estimate about a metre away. He then followed me and started taking pictures of my car and plates. I wanted to talk to him to explain but there wasn’t enough time. What is the verdict here given the situation, and am I likely to face punishment should this go to court etc. Thanks in advance.
