Question 7765

On windy days, when passing cyclists it is advisable to…

  1. increase speed and drive as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway.
  2. leave a lateral clearance greater than the minimum required by the regulations.
  3. sound the horn when drawing level with them to warn them of our presence.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: leave a lateral clearance greater than the minimum required by the regulations.

In windy conditions, a gust can make a cyclist lose their balance or suddenly veer off course, so leave more than the minimum 1.5 meters of clearance when passing. Outside built-up areas, pass at least 20 km/h below the speed limit. Honking when alongside can startle them.
