Most of you would already know about this but in case you don't there's an E-Petition to make it law for motorists to leave a safe distance between them and a cyclist when overtaking.
An extract from the document -
Queensland citizens draws to the
attention of the House deficiencies in the current overtaking laws in that
motorists may come dangerously close to a cyclist while overtaking and at
considerable speed, posing an undeniable risk and yet breach no law.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to enact legislation to modify existing regulations requiring that a motorist maintain a minimum safe distance of one point five metres between their vehicle and a cyclist whilst overtaking, with a thirty metre exemption at intersections to allow for filtering.
The petition is now available online:
