Which of the following statements about driving is true?

  1. You should always drive as fast as possible.

  2. It is legal to cross solid yellow lines.

  3. You should provide three feet between your vehicle and cyclists.

  4. You should use the emergency lane to pass.

The correct answer is: You should provide three feet between your vehicle and cyclists.

Providing three feet between your vehicle and cyclists is a safe and important practice while driving. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they promote unsafe or illegal behavior while driving. Option A suggests speeding, which can lead to accidents and puts other drivers at risk. Option B states that it is legal to cross solid yellow lines, which is incorrect as it is only legal in specific situations such as passing a slow-moving vehicle. Option D suggests using the emergency lane to pass, which is illegal and can also be dangerous for both you and other drivers. Therefore, option C is the correct statement about driving as it promotes safe and responsible behavior on the road.
