Questions Learners Have About Cyclists & Safe Passing Judgement

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Cyclists & Safe Passing Judgement, including how questions match the official theory exam in Great Britain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the recommended safe passing distance for cyclists in Great Britain?

The Highway Code advises giving cyclists at least as much room as you would a car. As a guide, this means at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) when passing at speeds of up to 30mph, and more room at higher speeds or in adverse conditions.

How should I react to cyclists using advanced stop lines?

You must stop before the first white line at an advanced stop line, allowing cyclists to position themselves ahead of you. Do not enter the cycle box if the traffic lights are red, even if it appears clear.

What are the common risks when turning across the path of a cyclist?

Common risks include cyclists being in your blind spot, misjudging their speed, or failing to check mirrors and signal adequately. Always perform thorough checks, signal clearly, and give way to cyclists going straight when you are turning.

Is it ever acceptable to drive in a mandatory cycle lane?

No, you must not drive in a mandatory cycle lane during its operational hours. Advisory cycle lanes can be used if necessary, but you should always be cautious and give priority to cyclists.

What is 'dooring' and how can I avoid it as a driver?

'Dooring' is when a driver or passenger opens a car door into the path of an oncoming cyclist. To avoid this, always check your mirrors and blind spot (using the 'Dutch Reach' method if possible) before opening your door, especially when parked next to cycle paths.
