  1. A
    Undertake the cyclist on their left-hand side while there is clear space near the kerb.
  2. B
    Flash your headlights to signal that they must immediately move back to the kerb.
  3. Drop back to give plenty of space and do not attempt to pass until the manoeuvre is complete.Cevap
  4. D
    Drive closely behind the bicycle and maintain normal road speed to keep traffic flowing.

Cevap

Drop back to provide a generous safety margin and avoid overtaking until the cyclist has safely turned.
When a cyclist moves towards the centre of the carriageway to turn right, drivers must hold back, remain patient, and allow them ample time and clearance to complete their manoeuvre safely without attempting to pass on either side.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Observe the cyclist's shoulder check and lane repositioning towards the centre.
Identify that the cyclist is preparing to make a right turn into a side road or junction.
Cyclists need to take up a central position in their lane to turn right safely and prevent following vehicles from overtaking dangerously on the offside.
2
Ease off the accelerator and increase the following distance.
Create a secure buffer zone behind the cyclist.
The Highway Code requires drivers to give vulnerable road users time and space to complete manoeuvres without feeling rushed or threatened.
3
Remain behind the cyclist until they have turned and the road ahead is clear.
Eliminate the risk of cutting across or colliding with the turning rider.
Overtaking on either the right or the inside (left) while a cyclist is executing a turn violates safe passing rules and causes severe collision hazards.
