Question 5244
How can hitting cyclists be avoided?
- By exercising extra caution in bad weather conditions, such as rain or wind.
- By honking the horn to signal our presence when we are near them.
- By passing them quickly, even when vehicles are coming in the opposite direction.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By exercising extra caution in bad weather conditions, such as rain or wind.
Rain or wind makes a bicycle less stable, and a gust can push it off course or knock the cyclist down, so take extra care. Honking nearby can startle them, and you must not pass if doing so endangers or obstructs oncoming road users.
