Does backlash to THINK! advice highlight issues with the Highway Code? Road safety campaign advises parents to 'be aware of people driving and allow them to overtake (by moving into single file or stopping) when safe to do so' during Cycle To School Week
So where did this advice come from? THINK!? Nope, this heavily-criticised advice came directly from... well... the Highway Code...
Be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups. You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so, particularly in larger groups or when accompanying children or less experienced riders. Be aware of drivers behind you and allow them to overtake when you feel it is safe to let them do so.
This revelation made it a smidge more understandable why THINK! had used that wording, but others pointed out protecting children cycling on the road should probably come slightly higher on the ol' priorities hierarchy than abiding perfectly to the code.
