BDifficulty 2/5

Outside built-up areas, what lateral separation must a motorcycle rider leave from the protruding parts of another motorcycle they are overtaking?

Correct answer

At least 1.5 metres.

At least 1.5 metres from the overtaken motorcycle’s outermost parts. This case follows Article 85(5), the specific rule for a two-wheel vehicle driver overtaking another vehicle outside built-up areas. Do not confuse it with Article 85(4), which covers cyclists and mopeds among others. Overtaking must also be safe and obey limits and signs.
