You are driving in lane 2 of a two-lane road. Ahead, a bicycle (A) is going the same way along the right edge, and car B is stopped at the edge in front of it. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is driving in lane 2
- Bicycle (A) is going the same way along the right edge ahead
- Car B is stopped at the edge in front of A
💡 Hint
When passing a bicycle going the same way, you must keep enough distance to avoid a collision (Article 19(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Look at what is ahead of the bicycle; the key is predicting how it will soon have to move (Article 48(1)).
Answer: ②, ④
Explanation
Drivers of motor vehicles must watch for bicycles going the same way and keep enough distance to avoid a collision when passing them (Road Traffic Act Article 19(2)). Because car B is stopped ahead, A will soon have to move out into the lane, so anticipate this and slow down early (Article 48(1)). Accelerating to get past first or tailgating A risks hitting it the moment it moves out.
