What should you do in inclement weather when passing bicyclists?

Giving bicyclists extra room in inclement weather is essential for their safety as well as your own. When conditions are poor, such as during rain, snow, or strong winds, the stability and control of both vehicles and bicycles can be compromised. Bicyclists may require more space to maneuver safely to avoid obstacles or to maintain their balance.

By providing extra room, you reduce the risk of a collision and allow the bicyclist the necessary space to react to any unforeseen circumstances that may arise due to the weather conditions. This practice not only promotes safer interactions on the road but also displays courtesy and consideration towards vulnerable road users like cyclists.
