Question 4907
In a situation with rain and cyclists on the road, we must...
- maintain our speed and pay attention to complying with vertical traffic signs.
- exercise extreme caution because they are more likely to fall.
- sound the horn when we are near them to indicate our presence.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: exercise extreme caution because they are more likely to fall.
In rain, a bicycle skids more easily and the cyclist may fall or suddenly swerve. So be extra cautious, slow down as you approach, and leave more space when passing. Honking very close to a cyclist can startle them and make them lose their balance, and maintaining your speed leaves you no margin if they fall.
