Correct answer
At least 1.5 metres, while completing the manoeuvre safely.
At least 1.5 metres, without endangering the overtaken vehicle or oncoming traffic. Article 85.4 requires this margin in built-up areas too, using part or all of the adjacent or opposite lane as applicable. With more than one lane in each direction, a complete lane change is required. If it cannot be done safely, wait. The article’s additional reduction of 20 km/h below the limit applies outside built-up areas.
