How should a vehicle driver behave when driving near cyclists in rainy conditions?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to exercise extreme caution because there is a higher probability of falls. When it rains, the asphalt becomes slippery, reducing tire grip. Cyclists, riding on two wheels, are vulnerable users with precarious stability in these conditions; they can easily slip or make sudden movements to avoid puddles. Therefore, we must moderate our speed (not maintain it) to be able to react to any unforeseen events and increase the lateral safety distance. Furthermore, it is inadvisable to use acoustic signals (horns) near them, as the noise could startle them, causing them to lose balance and fall.
