When a group is passing another vehicle, how should riders pass?

• A. All at once
• B. In pairs
• C. Past one by one
• D. Stay behind the vehicle

Answer: (C)

Passing one rider at a time keeps the group spread out and gives each person a clear, predictable maneuver. This reduces crowding in the lane, gives the vehicle being passed and other drivers a reliable cue of each rider’s intention, and allows safe space and clearance before the next rider starts the pass. When riding as a group, this staggered, single-file approach helps maintain control and minimizes surprises for everyone on the road. Options that involve passing all together, in pairs, or staying behind don’t provide the same safety margin and can lead to confusion or a collision.
