Shock horror. Are you suggesting that the police drivers are highly trained and know what they are doing? -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport.

The Police driver missed him quite comfortably on a fairly narrow two lane road with traffic coming in the opposite direction, so judged the high speed overtaking manoeuvre perfectly well. At least the cyclist had the good sense to pull over to the side of the road when he heard the siren coming up behind him, and didn't stand on his 'right' to cycle in the middle of the lane, thereby slowing down the Police response to whatever incident they were dealing with.

Sorry - I thought that taking his foot (or even feet) off the pedal and putting it on the floor would have given him more stability - is that not the case? You know - two hands on the handle bars - one or two feet on the floor - that sort of thing.
