Victoria introduces new laws for cyclists and motorists that could cop drivers $1,652 fines


New rules will come into effect in Victoria next week requiring motorists to give cyclists a wide berth when passing them on roads.
From Monday, motorists must give riders at least one-metre clearance when overtaking on roads up to 60km/h, and 1.5 metres on roads with speed limits above 60km/h.
Victoria had previously been the only state without minimum passing distance laws.
