Question 272 in the bank

On which part of a road should a cyclist ride?

  1. As close as possible to the road’s left edge, facing the incoming traffic.
  2. Correct answer: As close as possible to the right hand side of the road.
  3. Where all other vehicles are driving.
  4. It is absolutely forbidden to ride bicycle on any part of a road.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: As close as possible to the right hand side of the road.

A cyclist usually travels more slowly than a motor vehicle, so they must ride as close as possible to the right edge of the road. This lets a faster vehicle overtake safely. Riding on the left, facing the traffic, is dangerous. Riding in the middle of the lane blocks traffic and increases the risk of a collision.
