Passing target: 80% (32/40)
A bicyclist ahead of you rides near the right edge of the road. The rider moves toward the middle of the lane to go around broken glass and sand. What should you do?
A follows cyclist B on a two-lane road. Broken glass and sand lie near the right edge ahead. B has moved toward the middle of the lane to go around the debris.
Correct answer: Slow down and stay back until you can pass with a safe clearance
Why
A bicyclist who rides slower than traffic must keep to the right as far as practicable, but the law lets the rider move left to pass, to turn left, or to avoid hazards. Sand, gravel, and wet pavement affect a bicycle much more than a car, so expect a rider to move around them. Treat the rider as a vehicle in your lane and wait for a safe place to pass.
