Question 3730
If you encounter a cyclist traveling in the opposite direction, what must you do?
- Do not start or continue passing.
- Honk the horn to warn the cyclist to move over to the shoulder.
- Flash the high-beam headlights to warn the cyclist of your presence.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Do not start or continue passing.
In the image, a cyclist is coming toward you in the other lane. If you pass the gray passenger car, you enter that lane and endanger the cyclist, so you must not start passing or, if you have already started, you must abandon the maneuver. Flashing your headlights or honking does not require the cyclist to move aside.
