I had an instance over the weekend where I was driving along behind 3 cars doing approx 55mph. I noticed in the distance a cyclist. As the group approached the lead car had slowed down and was sitting behind the cyclist the golf had already slowed as usual to the same speed as the car in front of me. Car No1 overtook the cyclist as did car No 2. Car No3 (in front of me) couldn't get past as there was more oncoming traffic. We waited, Car No3 had a gap and he went for it. My car started to speed up (only 1-2mph), but immediately spotted the cyclist and slowed right back to the same speed as the rider. At no time did the car attempt to speed up until I saw a gap and initiated the maneuver around him, then the ACC took over once I let off the throttle. I would normally have turned off the ACC in this instance, but I really wanted to see how the car would react to this situation. It performed admirabley I have to say
