Zorluk: OrtaConsideration for Vulnerable Road Users

You are driving uphill on a narrow single carriageway and following a cyclist who is travelling slowly and wobbling to maintain balance. What should you do?

  1. A
    Overtake immediately with narrow clearance so you do not lose your vehicle's uphill momentum
  2. Hold back at a safe distance and only overtake when you have a clear view ahead, leaving at least 1.5 metres of clearanceCevap
  3. C
    Flash your headlights repeatedly to warn oncoming traffic to yield while you pass
  4. D
    Pull out abruptly across the centre line without checking your blind spots for overtaking vehicles from behind

Cevap

Hold back at a safe distance and only overtake when you have a clear view ahead, leaving at least 1.5 metres of clearance.
Cyclists travelling uphill move slowly and naturally wobble or adjust their line to maintain balance and momentum. Drivers must demonstrate patience by holding back until the road ahead offers a clear view, and only overtake when they can provide at least 1.5 metres of passing clearance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Recognise the vulnerability and movement characteristics of the road user
Identify that cyclists riding slowly uphill often sway laterally to maintain balance and require extra room
Vulnerable road users on inclines need patience and significantly wider safety margins from following traffic
2
Evaluate road conditions, oncoming hazards, and visibility ahead
Determine whether the forward view is sufficient to safely complete an overtaking manoeuvre without sudden hazards
Overtaking on hills or narrow sections without full view of oncoming traffic creates extreme collision risks
3
Execute the passing manoeuvre only when completely safe, adhering to UK Highway Code clearance guidelines
Pass leaving at least 1.5 metres of space at appropriate speed once the road ahead is completely clear
Rule 163 of The Highway Code specifies leaving at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds up to 30 mph
