Correct answer
Yes, because it leaves an adequate separation and uses the adjacent lane.
In the image, the white car is overtaking the bicycle correctly because it is leaving the minimum required separation and is also using the adjacent lane. When overtaking vulnerable road users such as cyclists, it is essential to carry out the manoeuvre safely. The regulations specify that we must use part or all of the adjacent lane, always maintaining a minimum lateral distance of 1.5 metres. This ensures that the cyclist does not feel intimidated and helps prevent accidents.
