On a road with one lane in each direction, a bicycle is riding along the right edge in the same direction as you. What is the correct way to pass beside it?
💡 Hint
When passing a bicycle or personal mobility device going the same way, you must keep enough distance to avoid a collision (Article 19(2) of the Road Traffic Act). A bicycle can move sideways at the slightest wobble, so think about why pushing past with the horn or speed is dangerous.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Article 19(2) of the Road Traffic Act requires drivers to watch out for bicycles and personal mobility devices going the same direction and to keep enough distance to avoid a collision when passing beside them. A bicycle can wobble sideways at any moment, so passing close or accelerating hard is dangerous. Using the horn to force the cyclist onto the sidewalk invites a crash and interferes with the bicycle's lawful travel.
Legal basis: 도로교통법 제19조 제2항
