Show answer
Correct answer
- AQue la bicicleta es un vehículo frágil y vulnerable.That a bicycle is a fragile and vulnerable vehicle.
Explanation
A cyclist is a vulnerable road user: the bicycle gives no protection in a collision. Cyclists may ride on the carriageway, and you must keep at least 5 metres behind them in a built-up area and leave a lateral clearance of 1.5 metres when overtaking them. You may never exceed the speed limit to overtake them.
