Cevap
Allow a safe lateral clearance distance when passing and only proceed when it is safe to do so.
Bicyclists have equal rights to the road but lack structural crash protection. Drivers overtaking a bicycle must maintain a safe lateral buffer distance and only pass when visibility and oncoming traffic allow for a safe maneuver.
