Greens transport spokesperson Samantha Dunn says NSW’s decision to introduce minimum passing distances for motorists overtaking bicycles has left Victoria lagging behind.
“South Australia, the ACT, Queensland and Tasmania have introduced new overtaking rules to make bike riders safer, Samantha Dunn said.
“Cycling is booming in Victoria but the Victorian Government is refusing to support this simple and necessary reform.
“The Victorian Government needs to support the Greens bill which is before the parliament. This change is overdue and will make our roads safer,” Samantha Dunn said.
