You are driving on a road with one lane each way, and bicycle A is riding the wrong way toward you along the right edge of your lane. Car B is coming in the opposite lane. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight on a road with one lane each way
- Bicycle A is riding toward you along the right edge of your lane
- Car B is approaching in the opposite lane
A bicycle is also a vehicle and must keep to the right of the centerline (Article 13(3) of the Road Traffic Act), but even when the other party breaks the rule, your responsibility to avoid an accident remains (Article 48(1)). Think about which way you can swerve when a car is coming the other way, and what to do when there is not enough room.
Answer: ②, ⑤
Explanation
A bicycle is also a vehicle and must keep to the right of the centerline (Road Traffic Act Article 13(3)), so A's wrong-way riding is a violation. Even so, drivers must drive at a safe speed and in a safe way to avoid an accident (Article 48(1)), so slow down, and stop and wait if you cannot leave enough space. Crossing the centerline while car B is coming risks a head-on crash, and sounding the horn repeatedly can startle the rider into falling.
