Add the 1m passing law to the EC Provincial Road Traffic Act (added in the WC - Nov '13)

The Issue

In the hope of safer cycling in the Eastern Cape - and to honour the life of a cyclist who died on Monday the 27th April - Sonnica Kensley. 

I along with my cycling group arrived on the scene minutes after being alerted of the accident by a passing motorist.  Sonnica and her husband Clayton were knocked over/driven over by a truck.  It was a traumatic experience that I never want to live through again - and I didn't know them.  I just can't do nothing about this.

Cyclists (who are also motorists) and motorists need to learn to share the road.    

Please support the petition to get the law passed that the Western Cape enacted in Nov 2013.
