Correct answer
always, both when overtaking and when passing other road users.
Keep sufficient lateral clearance both when overtaking and when passing oncoming users. Adapt it to speed, available space and the vulnerability of those nearby, respecting required minimum gaps and lane changes where applicable. Clearance helps reduce risk but cannot guarantee preventing every collision. Position on the road must follow its rules and signs: driving close to the right edge is not universally required.
