What distance should one keep from a bicyclist when passing?

  1. One foot

  2. Five feet

  3. Three feet

  4. Two feet

The correct answer is: Five feet

Passing too closely to a bicyclist can be dangerous regardless of the bicyclist's speed. It may cause the bicyclist to lose balance or swerve, potentially leading to an accident. Option A, one foot, is too close and does not allow enough room for error. Options C and D, three and two feet respectively, are better but still may not provide enough space for safety. Option B, five feet, is the recommended minimum distance to ensure the safety of both the driver and the bicyclist. It allows for any unexpected movements by the bicyclist and prevents potential collisions.
