About Vulnerable cyclists, moped-scooters and mopeds: which statement is correct?
- ✓ Hearing-impaired cyclists often, but NOT always, have a sign.
- A moped-scooter may, just like a moped, ride 30 km/h in town and 40 km/h outside it.
- An electric cyclist and a cyclist with full shopping bags are just as fast and just as stable as an ordinary cyclist without a load.
- If you have checked your mirror once before turning right, you have seen the cyclist beside you and it is safe to turn.
Correct answer: Hearing-impaired cyclists often, but NOT always, have a sign.
Explanation
Hearing-impaired cyclists often, but NOT always, have a sign. Drive predictably regardless and do not appear unexpectedly, sign or no sign
Why learners get this wrong
- A moped-scooter may ride at most 25 km/h, both in town and outside it — one fixed figure, not the 30/40/45 distinction that applies to the moped
- Electric cyclists often ride noticeably faster than ordinary cyclists, and cyclists with heavy bags or children in child seats are less stable. Both call for an adjusted assessment
- CBR teaching material/Driving procedure B - a cyclist beside or behind-right of you can disappear into the blind spot; look separately over your shoulder just before turning, not only in the mirror beforehand
