BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, what minimum lateral gap must a two-wheel motorcycle leave when overtaking a lorry?

Correct answer

At least 1.50 metres.

At least 1.50 m from the lorry’s most protruding parts under article 85.5. This rule concerns a two-wheeled vehicle overtaking outside a built-up area; choosing a smaller gap because it seems safe is insufficient. The other overtaking requirements and speed limits also apply.
