00:00Do you know when it's acceptable for a cyclist to ride to a rest?
00:13So there are some options.
00:15So A is always, B is as long as they're not on a narrow road or a busy road or a bend,
00:22or C, cyclists shouldn't ride side by side, even on quiet roads.
00:27Well, it's probably C, but I would say B.
00:30So the answer is actually A.
00:32You're always allowed to ride to a rest.
00:35Is it illegal to not wear a helmet whilst you're cycling, true or false?
00:40I would say false.
00:42Well, yeah, you don't actually have to wear a helmet legally.
00:46And finally, what is the minimum safe overtaking distance for a motorist overtaking a cyclist?
00:52Two metres.
00:54So the answer is one and a half.
00:56But the Highway Code actually recommends a car's width.
