Correct answer
That if it is windy, the cyclist's path may change unexpectedly.
When overtaking a cyclist, it is important to consider the wind conditions, as these can significantly affect the cyclist's stability and path. Wind can cause cyclists to move unpredictably or suddenly deviate from their line of travel, especially in strong crosswinds. For this reason, it is important to maintain a lateral safety clearance of at least one and a half metres when passing a cyclist. This distance is not only a precaution; it also provides an additional margin if a gust of wind affects the cyclist and forces them to correct their path quickly.
