Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Take into account the chance that there will be a cyclist to his right during the turn, and take measures to avoid hitting him.
When turning right, the vehicle crosses the path of a cyclist riding on its right, who may be hidden in the blind spot. So check the mirrors and look over your right shoulder, signal early, slow down and let the cyclist pass safely. Honking does not shift responsibility to the cyclist, and the driver should not wait for the cyclist to signal. Trucks and buses have larger blind spots and need extra care.
