Close-Pass People Who Cycle Put Lives at Risk: New Scotland-Wide Research

Close-Pass People Who Cycle Put Lives at Risk: New Scotland-Wide Research CS Head of Comms Denise Hamilton, Deputy Head of Road Policing Superintentent Simon Bradshaw and CS Nine in ten drivers in Scotland say motorists who close-pass people who cycle put lives at risk, according to new research from the nation’s cycling organisation. More than six in ten (63 per cent) said people would be more likely to cycle than drive if they felt safer on Scotland’s roads. And 57 per cent agreed that more people cycling instead of driving would help Scotland tackle the climate emergency. These are the findings of a new study of 509 Scotland-based drivers commissioned by the nation’s cycling organisation – Cycling Scotland – to mark the launch of its annual nationwide campaign today (Tuesday 1 June).

Drivers are then stopped by marked police vehicles, with officers educating them on the two metre safe distance to pass a cyclist.
