Correct answer
That the bicycle is a fragile and vulnerable vehicle.
When driving on an urban road near a cyclist, it is essential to bear in mind that a bicycle is a more fragile and vulnerable means of transport compared with other motor vehicles. Cyclists do not have the physical protection that cars offer, and are therefore more exposed to suffering serious injury in the event of an accident. Respect and tolerance towards cyclists are essential for safely sharing road space. This includes keeping an adequate distance when overtaking a cyclist, staying alert to their movements and signals, and understanding that cyclists can be affected by road conditions, such as potholes or puddles, that might not be a problem for larger vehicles.
