BDifficulty 2/5

When approaching a cyclist riding near obstacles in the carriageway, what is the appropriate approach?

Correct answer

Anticipate a possible cyclist movement and adapt speed and clearance.

Anticipate a possible change of course and leave a safety margin, moderating speed and stopping if necessary. Defensive driving prevents situations rather than relying on abrupt last-second reactions. Obey signs and overtaking rules; do not maintain an unsuitable speed merely because it is below the limit. Use appropriate lighting without dazzling the cyclist; necessary lights should not be omitted.
