Question: When sharing the road with cyclists you should:
Answer options:
- Honk to warn ✅ Pass at a safe distance (at least 1 metre) when conditions allow
- Force them onto the curb
- Drive in the bike lane
Correct answer: Pass at a safe distance (at least 1 metre) when conditions allow
Explanation: Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, motorists must maintain a minimum distance of one metre when passing cyclists to ensure their safety on shared roads. Honking can startle riders and cause collisions, while driving in designated bicycle lanes or forcing cyclists off the road is dangerous and illegal. The official Ontario rule treats bicycles as vehicles with the right to share the road, making the one-metre clearance mandatory wherever practical. On the G1 exam, safe sharing of the road with vulnerable road users is a heavily tested concept, and candidates must know the specific legal buffer zones required for cyclists.
