DDifficulty 3/5

Outside a built-up area, on a road with one lane in each direction, a bus intends to overtake a moped. May it leave less than 1.50 m lateral clearance?

Correct answer

No, leave at least 1.50 m and meet the other conditions.

No. Article 85.4 requires at least 1.50 m and using part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane in this situation. Outside a built-up area, reduce speed to at least 20 km/h below the road limit before starting and throughout the manoeuvre. Do not endanger or hinder oncoming users, including those on the shoulder; obey other applicable prohibitions and exceptions. Wait if the conditions cannot be met. Clearance reduces risks but does not guarantee preventing every crash.
