Explanation
When encountering a scenario with both an oncoming vehicle and a bicyclist to your right, you should handle this situation by facing only one traffic condition at a time. Slow down to let the oncoming vehicle pass. Once the oncoming vehicle has safely passed, you can then proceed to overtake the bicyclist, ensuring to leave a sufficient amount of space between the vehicle and the cyclist for safety.
