Question 898 in the bank

You are driving a vehicle that approaches the cyclist in the picture from behind. What risk might be posed by the cyclist ?

A person riding a bicycle, seen from behind, on a narrow red sidewalk (pavement) beside a reddish stone wall. To their left is a roadway with a white car.
  1. There is no risk. Pass the cyclist quickly.
  2. Correct answer: The cyclist might pull onto the roadway or otherwise trip and fall into it.
  3. The cyclist rides on the sidewalk (pavement) and therefore the bicycles pose no risk.
  4. The cyclist is an adult and poses no risk.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The cyclist might pull onto the roadway or otherwise trip and fall into it.

A cyclist riding on a narrow sidewalk (pavement) next to the roadway may lose balance, swerve, or suddenly go down onto the roadway. Even an adult, experienced cyclist may trip. So when you approach a cyclist from behind, slow down, keep as much side distance as you can, and be ready to stop. Do not pass quickly.
