Zorluk: OrtaMoving Hazards

You are following a cyclist along a two-way road with parked cars on the left. The cyclist moves towards the centre of the road to pass the parked vehicles, and an oncoming car flashes its headlights. What should you do?

  1. A
    Accelerate past the cyclist immediately, assuming the oncoming driver is yielding right of way.
  2. B
    Overtake the cyclist with narrow clearance to clear the road before the oncoming car arrives.
  3. Slow down, stay well behind the cyclist to allow them space, and wait until it is safe to pass.Cevap
  4. D
    Focus solely on the cyclist ahead and ignore the position and speed of the oncoming vehicle.

Cevap

Slow down, stay well behind the cyclist to allow them space, and wait until it is safe to pass.
When approaching multiple moving hazards—such as a cyclist navigating around parked vehicles and an oncoming car—the safest course of action is to drop back, stay behind the cyclist, and give them plenty of room. You must never assume that an oncoming driver flashing their headlights is giving way.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the dynamic hazards in the driving environment.
Recognise that the cyclist must move outward to pass parked cars, and an oncoming car is approaching.
Early identification of multiple moving hazards allows appropriate planning and speed adjustment.
2
Evaluate the oncoming vehicle's headlight signal and road space.
Understand that flashing headlights do not grant priority and that road width is restricted.
The Highway Code states headlights must not be interpreted as an invitation to proceed.
3
Adjust vehicle speed and maintain a safe following distance behind the cyclist.
The vehicle stays safely behind the cyclist until oncoming traffic clears and sufficient overtaking clearance is available.
Cyclists require room to avoid opening doors and road defects, and overtaking should only occur when completely safe.
