- A gust of wind could blow the cyclist off course towards youCorrect
- Wind makes cyclists ride much faster
- Cyclists cannot ride at all in strong wind
- The wind will push your car away from them
Why?
Strong gusts can blow a cyclist sideways without warning. Rule 232 of The Highway Code warns that in windy weather a cyclist, motorcyclist or horse rider can be blown off course, so take care and leave extra space.
