Space conflicts can occur when
- a cyclist moves up beside you when you are planning to turn right.
- an oncoming vehicle turns left in front of you.
- a pedestrian intends to cross the road.
- All of the above ✓
Answer: D. All of the above
All of the above: each situation is a space conflict.
Why this is the answer
Space conflicts happen when two road users want the same piece of road at the same time. The handbook's space-conflict section lists exactly these examples: an oncoming vehicle turning left in front of you, a pedestrian who intends to cross, and a cyclist moving up beside you while you plan a right turn. Because each one is named as a space conflict, the choice that covers all of them is correct. The passage does not add separate conditions or exceptions for these examples.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. a cyclist moves up beside you when you are planning to turn right. — A cyclist moving up beside you as you plan a right turn is only one example of a space conflict, so choosing it alone leaves out the other listed conflicts.
- B. an oncoming vehicle turns left in front of you. — An oncoming vehicle turning left in front of you is only one example named in the handbook, not the complete answer.
- C. a pedestrian intends to cross the road. — A pedestrian who intends to cross the road is also just one of the listed space conflicts, so it does not cover all the situations.
Remember it
Picture the space-conflict list as three moving pieces: a left-turning vehicle, a crossing pedestrian, and a cyclist beside a right turn.
