BDifficulty 2/5

In your car, you overtake an animal-drawn vehicle outside a built-up area on a carriageway with one lane each way. What minimum lateral clearance must you keep?

Correct answer

At least 1.5 metres.

At least 1.5 metres, using part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane as appropriate, without endangering or obstructing oncoming users. With more than one lane in the same direction, a complete lane change would be compulsory. Outside a built-up area, reduce speed by at least 20 km/h below the road limit before and throughout the manoeuvre under current Article 85.4. Do not indiscriminately extend this rule to all motorcycles.
