You must allow how many feet when passing a bicyclist?

  1. 20

  2. 5

  3. 10

  4. 15

The correct answer is: 20

When passing a bicyclist, the law in most states requires that you allow at least 3 feet of space between your vehicle and the bicyclist. This is for the safety of both parties and to prevent accidents. Option A (20 feet) is the only answer choice that falls within this 3 feet requirement. Option B (5 feet) is too close and may result in a collision, while options C (10 feet) and D (15 feet) are also not enough space. Therefore, option A is the best and most accurate answer.
