Under what circumstances can you drive in a bicycle lane?

  1. If the lane is clear

  2. When overtaking a cyclist

  3. To make a left turn

  4. Never

The correct answer is: To make a left turn

When driving in a bicycle lane, one should only do so when making a left turn. It is not acceptable to use the lane to simply pass a cyclist or if the lane is clear. This is because the bicycle lane is intended for use by cyclists, and using it for any other purpose may put both drivers and cyclists at risk. Additionally, it is never acceptable to drive in a bicycle lane if there is no legitimate purpose for doing so, such as making a turn.
