When passing a bicyclist on the street, a driver should leave:

1 foot of clearance
At least 5 feet of clearance
Enough room to get past without slowing
As little clearance as possible

The correct answer is: At least 5 feet of clearance

A 1 foot of clearance is insufficient for passing a bicyclist on the street. This would not give the cyclist enough space and could potentially cause an accident. C: Leaving just enough room to get past without slowing down is also not enough clearance. The driver should leave at least 5 feet of space to ensure the safety of the cyclist. D: Leaving as little clearance as possible is dangerous and not considerate of the cyclist's safety. At least 5 feet of clearance is recommended. The best option is B as it allows for sufficient space for the driver to safely pass the cyclist and reduces the risk of any accidents or collisions. It also shows consideration and respect for the cyclist's safety on the road.
