Passing target: 80% (40/50)
A horse and rider are ahead, and oncoming traffic prevents a safe pass. What should you do?
A is behind a horse and helmeted rider near the right side of the lane. An oncoming silver car occupies the opposing lane.
Correct answer: Slow down, wait, then pass slowly and wide without honking
Why
Slow down, leave a generous following gap and wait while oncoming traffic prevents a safe pass. When passing is safe, go slowly, leave extra room and avoid sounding the horn. For a rider on the roadway, BC requires at least 1 m of passing clearance, or 1.5 m when the road’s speed limit is above 50 km/h; leave more whenever needed for safety. Stop if the rider is struggling to control the horse.
