Explanation
When an oncoming vehicle is approaching and the lane is narrow, trying to pass the bicyclist while the vehicle is still coming can be dangerous and may not provide enough space for both the bicyclist and the vehicle. By first allowing the oncoming vehicle to pass, you avoid a potentially risky maneuver and ensure that you have sufficient space to safely and adequately pass the bicyclist.
