Correct answer
- CSi, ya que debido al esfuerzo su trayectoria puede ser oscilante.Yes, because the effort may make their path unsteady.
When overtaking cyclists on long uphill stretches, it is advisable to increase the lateral clearance beyond the minimum set by the rules. This is because on long climbs cyclists make an extra effort and their path may become more unsteady or less predictable. A wider lateral clearance when overtaking them therefore gives a greater safety margin and more room to manoeuvre if the cyclists make unexpected movements.
