When sharing the road with a bicycle, what distance should you maintain?

  1. 3 or more feet

  2. 2 or more feet

  3. 1 or more feet

  4. 4 or more feet

The correct answer is: 3 or more feet

When sharing the road with a bicycle, the recommended distance to maintain is at least 3 feet. This distance allows the bicyclist enough space to safely maneuver and avoids the risk of a collision. Options B and C, which suggest 2 or 1 feet, respectively, may still be too close and put the bicyclist in danger. While option D, suggesting 4 or more feet, is also a safe distance, it is not as specific as the recommended 3 feet. It is important to give bicyclists enough space on the road to ensure their safety and cooperation with motor vehicles.
