Passing target: 80% (24/30)
On a two-lane road, you come up behind a bicyclist who rides near the right edge of your lane. A car approaches in the other lane, so you cannot pass with enough room. What should you do?
A comes up behind bicyclist B near the right edge of a two-lane road. Silver car C approaches in the opposite lane; there is no selected passing route or minimum-clearance label.
Correct answer: Stay behind the bicyclist, and pass when the other lane is clear and you can leave room.
Why
Bicycles are small and light, and almost any crash with a car injures or kills the rider. In West Virginia, a person who rides a bicycle on a roadway has the rights and duties of a vehicle driver (17C-11-2). When you pass, slow down, make sure the rider knows that you are there, and leave at least 3 feet (17C-7-3). A bicyclist can also move away from the edge to avoid hazards such as parked cars, debris or a narrow lane (17C-11-5).
