Question 3811
What should we keep in mind when passing a cyclist?
- That to pass them safely, we must sound the horn so the cyclist moves aside.
- That we cannot move into the lane for oncoming traffic if there is a solid line.
- That if it is windy, the cyclist's path can change unexpectedly.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That if it is windy, the cyclist's path can change unexpectedly.
A gust of wind can suddenly push a cyclist off course, so when passing, do not assume the cyclist will keep going straight. Leave plenty of clearance, never less than 1.5 meters. You must provide that clearance without honking to make the cyclist move aside. You may also pass across a solid line if you can do so safely.
