For answer  A 

The question specifies the change of direction of travel of the cyclist, which can also be an overtaking of an obstacle on the edge of the road, in which case performing overtaking of the cyclist while he performs the change of direction of travel is not permitted to you. And regarding the audible warning of him, it must be known that the audible warning is not permitted to you from a distance less than 25 meters from him, except when the warning is used for avoiding an immediate danger.

For answer  B 

When you drive behind a cyclist and notice that he intends to change the direction of travel, you must ensure him conditions for completing the maneuver. And after he has completed the maneuver, you may begin overtaking only if there are optimal conditions for performing the maneuver in safety conditions.

For answer  C 

The road legislation imposes rules of driving for all the drivers of vehicles, including for cyclists, and the obligations and prohibitions that you have regarding the safety of road traffic must be applied regardless of the type or speed of the vehicle that drives in front of you.

The correct answer is: B

Regulation** - Article 112

The drivers of vehicles signal with the means of luminous warning, audible warning or with the arm, as appropriate, before performing any maneuver or for avoiding an immediate danger.

Regulation** - Article 113

(1) The means of audible warning must be used from a distance of at least 25 m from those they are addressed to, for a duration of time that ensures the perception of the signal and without determining them to maneuvers that can endanger the safety of driving.

Regulation** - Article 118

(1) The driver of a vehicle who performs overtaking is obliged:
a) to make sure that the one who follows him or precedes him has not signalled the intention of starting a similar maneuver and that he can overtake without endangering or without disturbing the driving from the opposite direction;
b) to signal the intention of performing the overtaking;
c) to keep during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
d) to return to the lane or to the driving row initially after he has signalled and made sure that he can perform this maneuver in safety conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other participants in traffic.

(2) For ensuring the lateral safety distance, when overtaking a bicycle or an electric scooter the drivers of motor vehicles, other than those that move on two wheels, perform this maneuver by passing over the longitudinal marking separating the directions of driving or separating the lanes on the same direction, with at least half of the width of the motor vehicle when its driving speed is greater than 50 km/h, or at least by crossing these markings when the driving speed is at most 50 km/h. (Paragraph (2) was modified and updated on www.scoalarutiera.ro on 06-10-2021)
