Correct answer
Yes, it is an offence that results in the loss of 6 points.
When overtaking, especially a group of cyclists, you must be aware that you are manoeuvring in a risky situation. In the specific case of endangering cyclists during an overtaking manoeuvre, the penalty is particularly severe, with the loss of 6 points and a fine of 200 euros. It is important to understand that this measure is not only intended to punish the driver, but also to raise awareness of the importance of respecting and protecting the most vulnerable road users, such as cyclists.
