I do not understand where the RSA is coming from. If motorists left enough room when overtaking cyclists there would be far less accidents.
Even if I did, how would it even be measured on a moving camera?
Drivers often drive too close to cyclists. It's easy enough to see on a recording.
If someone drives at 1.4m instead of 1.5m, presumably no action would be taken.
But if a driver speeds up and brushes by a cyclist, they should lose their license. A recording will show that easily.

If a motorist catches cyclists breaking traffic lights and cycling on footpaths, etc, will it suffice for prosecutions in court?

The motorist shouldn’t be overtaking on a road with a single or double white line. The lines are there for a reason.The motorist can only pull out as far as a single or double white line, otherwise he breaks another rule, the road may not be wide enough to give the cyclist 1.5 m

As a motorists it can be very difficult to judge how far is a metre out. Perhaps lines should be painted on the road.
