Here is a photo with rule 163 from the UK Highway code, oh look another recognition of a vulnerable road user
Speaking of vomit, Jack, name one state in the "real world" that requires passing motorists to slow down before or while passing any type of vehicle. You might also explain how such a law or practice provides any additional safety for the passed vehicle in your "real world." In fact, you might even explain how such a slow down law would have protected the victim in the OP.

Apparently you can't distinguish between giving proper clearance and slowing down. Perhaps your own bile is clouding your ability to digest what you read.
