When you approach a bicyclist from the rear, you should

  1. Make no allowance for the cyclist

  2. Follow closely to prevent the cyclist from turning left

  3. Allow the cyclist a full lane width

  4. Blow your horn

The correct answer is: Allow the cyclist a full lane width

Approaching a bicyclist from the rear can be a dangerous situation for both the driver and the cyclist. It is important to give the cyclist enough space and to make sure they are aware of your presence. Answer B is incorrect because following closely to prevent the cyclist from turning left can startle the cyclist and cause them to lose control. Answer D is incorrect because blowing your horn can startle the cyclist and make them swerve. Answer A is incorrect because it goes against basic traffic rules of sharing the road. Answer C is the best option because it allows the cyclist enough space and control to maneuver safely on the road. It also follows the principle of sharing the road and being considerate of other vehicles and modes of transportation. It is important to always pass cyclists with caution and give them enough space to ensure their safety and yours.
