What should you do if you overtake a cyclist when it’s very windy?

Cyclists can be frustrating to drive near. However, all drivers need to make sure they give all road users due consideration.

In windy weather, you need to allow extra room when overtaking a cyclist. All riders are susceptible to being blown off course and into your path. Passing too near could create a draught and throw the rider off balance.
