Correct answer
At least 1.50 metres.
At least 1.50 metres under Article 85.5, measured to the overtaken vehicle’s outermost parts. Exactly 1.50 metres meets that minimum; it need not be strictly greater, although conditions may call for more room. Distance alone does not guarantee safety: observe visibility, space and speed limits. Special rules for passing vulnerable users apply when the overtaken vehicle or user belongs to those categories.
