Question 4083
What precaution must every driver take to reduce the risk of hitting bicyclists?
- Leave a lateral distance of less than 1.5 meters when passing them.
- Use the horn near them before passing them.
- Exercise extra caution when passing them on days with rain or strong wind.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Exercise extra caution when passing them on days with rain or strong wind.
Rain makes a bicycle less stable, and a gust of wind can suddenly push it off course, so take extra care when passing on those days. Leave at least 1.5 meters of lateral clearance, never less. Honking near a cyclist can startle them and cause them to fall.
