California driver's examination

You must drive slower when there is heavy traffic or bad weather. However, if you block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic by driving too slowly, you may be cited.

Slow down before you enter the curve; you do not know what may be ahead. Braking on a curve may cause you to skid.

An alcoholic beverage container that is not full, sealed, and unopened must be kept in the trunk of the vehicle or in another place where passengers do not sit. Keeping an opened alcoholic drink in the glove compartment is specifically prohibited. In a bus, taxi, camper, or motor home, these restrictions do not apply to non-driving passengers.

If making a right turn, you may enter the bicycle lane no more than 200 feet before the corner or driveway. Drivers of motor vehicles should not enter a bicycle lane at other times.

Before changing lanes, you should check your side mirrors and look over your shoulder to make sure that it is safe to proceed.

Passing on the right is permissible only if it is possible to do so without driving off of the roadway.

When a school bus flashes its red lights, you must stop (whichever side of the bus you are on) and remain stopped until the children are safely across the street and the lights stop flashing. An exception is if the school bus is on the opposite side of a divided or multi-lane highway (with two or more lanes in each direction). In that case, you do not need to stop.

Pedestrians using guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given the right-of-way at all times.

In this situation, you should "take one danger at a time". Rather than trying to squeeze between the bicyclist and the other vehicle, you should slow down to let the other vehicle pass, and then pass the bicyclist when it is safe to do so.
