When meeting bicycles on a narrow, two-lane roadway, what should you do?

Pull off the roadway and let the bicycle pass
Pass the bicycle on the right
Horn to make them aware of your presence
Move to the other lane

The correct answer is: Move to the other lane

When meeting bicycles on a narrow, two-lane roadway, pulling off the roadway and letting them pass is incorrect because it can create a dangerous situation for both you and the bicyclist. Passing the bicycle on the right is also incorrect because it goes against the standard traffic laws, as bicycles are considered vehicles and should be treated like other vehicles on the road. Honking your horn to make them aware of your presence is unnecessary and could startle the cyclist, causing them to lose control. Moving to the other lane is the safest and most courteous option, allowing both you and the bicyclist to continue safely on the road.
