The Amy Gillett Foundation is a charity with one purpose: reducing the incidence of death and injury of bike riders
Amy Gillett was an elite cyclist
training for the Olympics when
she was tragically hit and killed by
a driver whilst cycling with her
teammates in Germany.
Amy’s husband, Simon, together
with Amy’s parents Mary and
Denis, concerned at the state of
safety on our roads, started the
foundation.

What are we doing?
‘a metre matters’
working to amend road rules across Australia so drivers are required to provide a safe distance when overtaking bicycle riders
Two-Way Street
raising driver and bike rider awareness about how sharing the road responsibly can reduce bike rider serious injuries and fatalities
Cycle Safe Communities
providing the community, councils and organisations access to bicycle rider safety campaign resources
AustCycle
national cycling training supporting bike-education with key objectives to: • reduce the incidence of injury and death through better
cycling education; and• increase the number of people cycling and the amount of
cycling they do.
Research
• supporting valuable research,in conjunction with accident research organisations such as universities and Government departments
• commissioning community attitudes research, for example into awareness and perception of minimum overtaking distance trials in Queensland and South Australia and the accompanying awareness campaigns
• Conducting and brokering research to provide the foundation for cycling safety policy, programs and initiatives

• The Amy Gillett Foundation’s key safety campaign is based around a simple premise –
drivers not hitting bicycle riders
• The message of the campaign is that when overtaking bicycle riders, drivers need to allow a
minimum distance of one metre in speeds of up to and including 60km, 1.5 metres in
speeds over 60km
• The minimum overtaking distance is a simple, common sense measure to give bike riders
a safer space
• Practical, objective measurements for drivers
• The majority of Australian States and Territories have adopted ‘a metre matters’ laws and
our efforts continue in Victoria, Northern Territory and Western Australia
‘a metre matters’

Road rules - Some key issues
A vehicle or bicycle already in a
roundabout has right of way
1.5m
![Page 20: The Safe Commute - Amazon S3...Traffic and congestion cost trends for Australian capital cities, 2015 The National Cycling Participation Survey (NCPS), 2015 Road trauma Australia,](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060506/5f1f719595f1c761d14d9b8d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Not all cyclists have the same skill level
• Potholes or other road obstructions may require a cyclist to move
sideways in their lane
• Many cyclists will become nervous when being
passed by a large vehicle
• Wind effect when passing at speed
• Opening doors
• Trucks and cyclist in roundabouts
• Heavy vehicle rear wheel tracking when turning
• B-Double trailers sway at speed
Practical Considerations
