Question 7075

When traveling on a road with two lanes in their direction of travel, how must the driver of a vehicle pass a cyclist?

  1. By occupying part or all of the adjacent lane and leaving a lateral distance of at least 1.5 meters.
  2. By changing lanes completely and leaving a lateral distance of at least 1.5 meters.
  3. By occupying part of the adjacent lane and leaving a lateral distance of at least 1.5 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: By changing lanes completely and leaving a lateral distance of at least 1.5 meters.

With two lanes in your direction, you must move completely into the adjacent lane to pass a cyclist and leave at least 1.5 meters of clearance to the side. Moving only partly into that lane is allowed when there is just one lane in each direction.
