You are driving in lane 2 of a road with two lanes each way, and bicycle A is riding in the same direction along the right edge ahead. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- Bicycle A at the edge of lane 2 ahead
- Lane 1 is empty
- Two lanes in each direction
When passing a bicycle going the same way, keep enough distance to avoid a collision (Article 19(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Where there is no bicycle track, bicycles use the roadway along its right edge (Article 13-2(2)), so they are not something to hurry out of the way.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
Drivers of motor vehicles must watch out for bicycles going in the same direction and keep enough distance to avoid a collision when passing them (Road Traffic Act Article 19(2)). Where there is no bicycle track, bicycles ride on the roadway close to the right edge (Article 13-2(2)), so honking to make it go onto the sidewalk is wrong. When moving to lane 1, check that you will not obstruct vehicles coming from behind (Article 19(3)).
