Explanation
If a bicyclist is ahead of you in your lane, you must slow down and be prepared to change lanes if necessary to give them plenty of room. Do not crowd the rider or pass too closely. If the lane is too narrow to safely pass the bicyclist within the same lane, wait until it is safe to move over. Always allow a safe space cushion when passing, and never follow too closely. Be patient - if you can’t pass safely, stay behind the bicyclist until you can. The same rules for passing other vehicles apply to passing people riding bicycles. Always stay alert and use extra caution when sharing the road with bicyclists.
