About Vulnerable cyclists, moped-scooters and mopeds: which statement is WRONG?
- 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.
- ✓ Every hearing-impaired cyclist has a sign on the back of the bicycle, so without a sign you do not need to account for hearing impairment.
- 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.
Correct answer: Every hearing-impaired cyclist has a sign on the back of the bicycle, so without a sign you do not need to account for hearing impairment.
Explanation
Hearing-impaired cyclists often, but NOT always, have a sign. Drive predictably regardless and do not appear unexpectedly, sign or no sign

- 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
