Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
You drive on a road with one lane in each direction. A bicyclist rides near the right edge of your lane. When you pass, what is the smallest space Nevada law allows between your car and the bicycle?
A follows B, who rides near the right edge of a two-lane, two-way road. A is still behind the bicycle and no clearance number or selected passing position appears in the question.
Correct answer: 3 feet
Why
If the road has more than one lane going your way, Nevada law requires you to move into the lane to the left to pass, when that is reasonably safe. The wind from a fast car can push a rider, so more space and a lower speed are safer. Never drive in a marked bicycle lane to pass.
