Take that lane is correct. I attended a 3 day bicycle commuter leader training a few years back. I had to build routes through a large city that a commuter to downtown and the university would travel. I came out knowing the importence of being confident and taking the lane.
Thanks Tom, it's a bit of a challenge here because there are a surprising number of motorists who object to cyclists being on 'their' road. Slowly improving though.
There's probably quite a few people that shouldn't be on the road (including some cyclists)! I think the driver will have learned from the experience. She was good enough to check up on him and pay for his replacement wheel and jersey.

They've recently updated the Highway Code here and it deals with most of these points you cover - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-highway-code-8-changes-you-need-to-know-from-29-january-2022 Maybe you could pitch some new policy :) - I wish Cameron well!
Ha - good to know!
Here's to a speedy recovery. The driver that hit him shouldn't be on the road.
