Question 3955
What must you keep in mind when driving your vehicle on an urban road near a cyclist?
- That the bicycle is a fragile and vulnerable vehicle.
- That for safety, you are allowed to pass them at a speed higher than the speed limit.
- That the cyclist must not ride on the roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That the bicycle is a fragile and vulnerable vehicle.
A bicycle has no bodywork to protect the cyclist, and even a slight impact or a fall can cause serious injuries, including in the city. That is why you slow down and leave space when near a cyclist. You must not exceed the speed limit to pass them, and if there is no bike lane, the cyclist rides on the roadway.
