From 7 April by law motorists in Qld must give:

a minimum of 1 metre when passing cyclists in a 60km/h or less speed zone
at least 1.5 metres where the speed limit is over 60km/h.

Motorists will be allowed to cross centre lines, including double unbroken centre lines, straddle lane-lines or drive on painted islands to pass cyclists provided the driver has a clear view of any approaching traffic AND IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

The minimum passing distance will be trialled for 2 years and will help make drivers more aware of cyclists.
