The answer
Answer: C. The Massachusetts Vulnerable Road Users Law requires motorists to leave a safe passing distance of at least four feet when passing pedestrians, bicyclists, roadside workers, and people using wheelchairs, scooters, skateboards, or similar devices. If it is safe, you may use all or part of the lane next to you and may cross the center line if necessary, and you must still obey the speed limit while passing.
