What is safest when passing a cyclist on a multi-lane road limited to 50 km/h?
A cyclist labelled B occupies the right lane of a multi-lane road. The card reads Posted limit: 50 km/h. The adjacent lane is empty.
Correct answer: Change lanes when safe, with the required clearance
Why
On a multi-lane road, use a safe, signalled lane change rather than crowding a cyclist. Check mirrors and the blind spot even for a small movement into the adjacent lane, and maintain the applicable BC passing clearance. If there is no safe gap, wait.
