Of course, it is legal to cross double white lines to pass a cyclist, horse, or road repair vehicle if they are doing <10mph. (Rule 129 in new highway code.) However, you do need to make sure the road is clear.
Makes me cross too, that is really unacceptable overtaking. If he has a head-on collision, I'll bet he tries to blame the cyclist despite it being purely down to his own bad judgement, poor planning, and substandard driving.

It's not like there were no other options, Plan B = take the cyclists place on the road!
