When overtaking or passing a bicycle, you should allow at least _______ of space between your vehicle and the bicycle.

  1. 1 foot

  2. 5 feet

  3. 3 feet

  4. 10 feet

The correct answer is: 3 feet

When overtaking or passing a bicycle, it is crucial to allow a minimum of 3 feet of space between your vehicle and the bicycle. This distance ensures the safety of the cyclist and reduces the risk of a collision or accident. By providing enough space, you can help prevent sideswiping the bicycle or causing the cyclist to lose balance due to the draft created by your vehicle. It's essential for drivers to be aware of this rule and to practice caution when sharing the road with cyclists.
