Colloquially yes, but where is it referred to in the law? Notifications via ESDAL or CASCADE are NOT a movement order.
Wait for it...
Which is exactly what the driver should have done.
No, not the red car...
Here's a shocking example of a #closepass caught on cam.
It cost the driver:
9 Points on their licence
A fine of £600
Surcharge of £66
Costs of £110
Motorists, leave at least 1.5m when overtaking at 30mph. More if overtaking at higher speeds.

Hi Rob, this work was actually @TransSafeAfrica (no connection but doing some great work!)
Textbook behaviour from driver and cyclist. If we can all channel this when we use the roads we can make the world a safer place.
Yes, and within the central area of this tyre is 0.5mm, why are you finding that so difficult to grasp?
If you think a good solicitor would get you off as clear a road traffic contravention as driving through a red light, we have some magic beans to sell you.
You said yourself it's a 1mm limit for bikes, and that tyre only has 0.5mm as measured by the officer who stopped it. How was it ever going to be legal?
Can remember him in front of the Transport Select Committee, very clearly on top of his brief and passionate about it. Mind you, with Gwyneth Dunwoody chairing, you needed to be!
A range of things - e.g. police numbers reduced significantly, but so did budgets for research, road safety education, publicity and training etc etc. DfT are running their first seatbelt wearing campaign in 13 YEARS because deaths from not wearing seatbelts have increased...
2/2 ...in that situation. And those situations of struggling with a suspect or being in close quarters with one are still more of a daily occurrence than the sword/chainsaw scenarios. Better holsters now but still around 5% of police shot dead in USA are with the officer's weapon
1/2 A colleague says the most scared he ever was in his service was being deployed to calls like pub fights in the 1970's when routinely deployed with a pistol on his hip due to the IRA threat. The thought that someone might grab the gun in the melee and use it on him...
You can take sunglasses off in poor weather and at night...
There are various offences which can be used if you drive during the hours of darkness in sunglasses.
To be precise, £2,000 fine, £2,000 costs and an £800 surcharge (usually referred to as Victim Surcharge).
Either way it doesn't add up to £5,800, but if you're picking them up on not getting it right!
