I am talking about those roads where the lane is not wide enough to pass the cyclists without swinging partially into the oncoming lane.
If the lane isn't wide enough (<3.5m) the cyclist can take the entire lane, and it would be illegal for a motor vehicle to just swing into the oncoming lane. The motor vehicle would have to treat him like a slow moving car, and wait until he is legally allowed to pass, in a passing lane.
