California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

Question: 1 / 570

When driving behind a cyclist you should:

Not allow the cyclist to merge into your lane

Drive close behind the cyclist

Maintain a safe following distance

When driving behind a cyclist, it is important to maintain a safe following distance. This allows you to have enough time to react to any sudden movements or changes in speed from the cyclist. Option A, not allowing the cyclist to merge into your lane, is incorrect because it goes against the rules of the road and can be dangerous for both you and the cyclist. Option B, driving close behind the cyclist, is also incorrect as it does not leave enough space for safe braking or maneuvering. Option D, passing the cyclist as soon as possible, is incorrect because it does not give adequate space for the cyclist and can also increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, the best and safest option is to maintain a safe following distance when driving behind a cyclist.
