Question: When you overtake a cyclist on a roadway, what should you do?

Answer options:

  • Pass as quickly as possible to minimise time alongside ✅ Give the cyclist a wide, safe lateral buffer and only return to the lane once you can see them in your interior mirror
  • Honk continuously as you pass
  • Stay close so following traffic does not try to pass too

Correct answer: Give the cyclist a wide, safe lateral buffer and only return to the lane once you can see them in your interior mirror

Explanation: Cyclists are entitled to use the lane and are highly vulnerable. Pass only when oncoming traffic is clear, leave a wide lateral buffer (a full lane where possible), and do not pull back in until you can see the cyclist in your interior mirror. Close, fast passes can blow the cyclist off-balance.
