How should a driver treat a bicyclist lawfully using a public road?
Correct answer: As a vehicle operator with rights and duties, leaving room for balance and hazards.
Why
Bicycles are part of traffic, and drivers must account for their smaller size and need to adjust lane position. A cyclist may move within the lane to avoid debris, parked doors or damaged pavement. Leave room for those adjustments instead of expecting the rider to hold a tire-width path at the edge.
