You are driving on the left of the road and a cyclist rides ahead of you in the same direction. How should you pass?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Pass on the right with a wide gap once the oncoming lane is clear
- Step 1: Cyclists can wobble or swerve to avoid road defects. Step 2. A wide gap and a clear oncoming lane give safe space. Answer: Pass on the right with a wide gap once the oncoming lane is clear. Why not the others: Pass on the left between the cyclist and the kerb: squeezing past on the inside leaves no room if the cyclist moves. Pass on the right as close as possible to the cyclist to keep moving: passing closely can upset the cyclist and cause a fall. Sound the horn and pass at once: a horn can startle the cyclist and does not create room.
