Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A bicyclist ahead of you rides slower than traffic, close to the right edge of the road. South Dakota law says such a rider must stay near the right edge except in some cases. Which list gives only cases that the law allows?
Correct answer: To pass a slower bicycle, to get ready for a left turn, or to avoid broken pavement
Why
On the road, a bicycle is a vehicle, and the rider has the same rights and duties as a driver. The law also lets a rider move out when the lane is too narrow for a car and a bicycle side by side. As a driver, expect riders to move left for these reasons, and watch for clues such as a head turn or a hand signal before the rider changes position.
