How can we avoid running over cyclists?
Overtaking
Explanation
To avoid hitting cyclists, it is essential to **leave a sufficient lateral safety distance when overtaking them**. This is crucial because cyclists are especially vulnerable on roads, where accidents often occur on straight sections or intersections due to collisions with other vehicles.
- **Leaving enough space** when overtaking allows cyclists to have a safety margin in case of unexpected movements or imbalances.
- **Not overtaking if cyclists are coming in the opposite direction** is another important measure to avoid accidents, as it ensures there is enough space for all road users.
- **Not using the horn near cyclists** is essential to avoid scaring them, which could lead to a loss of control of the bicycle.
These practices help protect cyclists and reduce the risk of accidents, especially on roads outside cities where vehicles tend to travel at higher speeds.
