You are driving outside of a built-up area. What is the correct course of action in this situation?

Your answer is correct because when driving outside of built-up areas, you must always make sure the road is clear before continuing, especially at crossings or intersections involving cyclists or pedestrians. Even if a cyclist is moving, this does not automatically guarantee it is safe to proceed— you must visually confirm there is no danger and that other road users have been given the right of way if required. This rule helps prevent accidents by ensuring drivers stay attentive to all road users and their movements. The other options are incorrect because you must not assume safety based only on movement, and the cycle path can generally still be used unless otherwise indicated.
