Question 7756
In conditions of poor visibility, what must a driver do when cyclists are present on the road?
- Exercise extreme caution to reduce the risk of an accident.
- Sound the horn upon reaching them to warn them of your presence.
- Drive as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway when passing them.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Exercise extreme caution to reduce the risk of an accident.
A bicycle is already hard to see, and in fog and rain, as in the image, you spot it even later. That is why you take extra care and slow down. Leave at least 1.5 meters of clearance when passing, and remember that honking when alongside can startle the cyclist.
