Questions Learners Have About Overtake Cyclists Safely

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Overtake Cyclists Safely, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the recommended safe distance when overtaking a cyclist in the Netherlands?

When overtaking a cyclist or moped rider in the Netherlands, you should always keep a lateral distance of at least 1.5 metres between your passenger car and the bicycle or snorfiets. This ensures their safety and allows for unexpected movements.

When should I avoid overtaking a cyclist?

You must avoid overtaking a cyclist if it could cause danger or obstruction, such as immediately before or on a pedestrian crossing, when visibility is poor due to fog or rain, or if the road is too narrow to maintain the safe 1.5-metre lateral distance. When in doubt, do not overtake.

How do unpredictable cyclist movements affect overtaking?

Cyclists are balancing vehicles and can swerve unexpectedly due to wind, road conditions, or looking over their shoulder. Always anticipate these movements by giving them ample space and being prepared to adjust your speed or stop, especially on rural roads or with strong crosswinds.

Can I overtake a cyclist on the right in the Netherlands?

Generally, you must overtake on the left. However, cyclists are allowed to overtake other slower-moving vehicles, including other cyclists, on the right. Motor vehicles must stick to overtaking on the left, unless in specific situations like traffic jams or when a driver signals to turn left.

Why is patience important when overtaking cyclists?

Patience is crucial because cyclists are vulnerable road users. Waiting for a safe opportunity to overtake, even if it means slowing down or stopping temporarily, is always preferable to attempting a dangerous manoeuvre that could endanger the cyclist or yourself. This often means waiting for a wider section of road or clearer visibility.
