Zorluk: KolayCyclists

You are driving along a residential street with cars parked on the left-hand side. A cyclist ahead moves out towards the centre of your lane to pass the parked vehicles. How should you respond?

  1. A
    Squeeze past the cyclist with minimal clearance to avoid delaying following traffic
  2. Stay behind and leave plenty of room for the cyclist to pass the parked vehicles safelyCevap
  3. C
    Pull out to overtake immediately without checking your right-hand mirror or blind spot
  4. D
    Drive closely alongside the parked cars assuming no vehicle doors will open into the road

Cevap

Stay behind and leave plenty of room for the cyclist to pass the parked vehicles safely
Cyclists often ride further out into the road when passing parked cars to keep clear of opening doors and emerging pedestrians. Drivers should anticipate this movement, hold back patiently, and allow the cyclist sufficient room rather than trying to force an overtake.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the static hazard presented by the line of parked cars
Recognise that parked cars can present sudden hazards such as opening doors or pedestrians emerging between vehicles
Cyclists must move out into the centre of the lane to avoid riding in the dangerous door zone of parked cars
2
Select the appropriate driving response to support the vulnerable road user
Hold back at a safe distance until the cyclist has safely cleared the parked vehicles and a safe overtaking opportunity arises
Patience and giving adequate clearance protect vulnerable road users from collision risks
