Correct answer
- ANoNo
No. Under traffic rules, cyclists riding in a group are considered a single moving unit for right-of-way purposes. Therefore, changes of position or passing between them within the group are not legally classed as overtaking. This means that the same strict rules on side distance and signalling that apply to overtaking another vehicle do not apply, although they must ride carefully to avoid colliding with each other.
