Question 3985

If it is necessary to warn a cyclist with audible signals, how should it be done?

  1. At a certain distance from the cyclist, to avoid startling them.
  2. As close as possible to the cyclist, to make sure they hear them.
  3. Under no circumstances; it is prohibited to warn the cyclist with audible signals.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: At a certain distance from the cyclist, to avoid startling them.

If you need to warn a cyclist with your horn, do it from some distance away. Up close, the sound may startle them and make them lose their balance. Honking is not prohibited if you have a permitted reason.
