Practice question

What is the best approach for a New York driving instructor to teach a student about sharing the road with bicycles?

  1. Bicycles have no road rights, so students should pass them quickly and closely, without checking for a right turn, a door opening, or a changing lane position
  2. Teach students to maintain at least 3 feet of clearance when passing, watch for bicycles at intersections, and check mirrors before opening doors
  3. Bicycles must always yield to cars, so students need no special passing, turning, door-opening, or blind-spot instruction around them
  4. Discuss bicyclists only when a marked bike lane is visible, rather than at intersections, beside parked cars, or on ordinary travel lanes

Answer: B — Teach students to maintain at least 3 feet of clearance when passing, watch for bicycles at intersections, and check mirrors before opening doors
