Explanation
Bicycles are legally considered vehicles, which means they have the same rights and responsibilities as other vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles. This means that bicyclists are required to follow traffic signs and signal lights, ride in the same direction as traffic, signal when changing lanes or turning, and yield to pedestrians. As a driver, it's important to be aware of bicyclists on the road and to be extra cautious when passing them since they are often less visible than other vehicles.
