Can you overtake the cyclist in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video we are riding a moped along a residential street marked with sign A-17 "children", where before the crossing the lanes are separated by a double solid line; in front of us there is a cyclist in a helmet and a high-visibility vest, and further on you can see a pedestrian crossing. In this situation you cannot overtake the cyclist - the answer is NO.
You overtake on the left, and when overtaking a bicycle you must keep a lateral clearance of at least 1 m. In this lane you cannot do this without driving onto the double solid line, and the rules prohibit crossing it or driving onto it. In addition, there is a pedestrian crossing ahead of us, and you must not overtake a vehicle on a pedestrian crossing or immediately before it. So you ride behind the cyclist at a safe distance, do not hurry them with the horn, and overtake only where the signs, road markings and space allow it.
