BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, you follow another vehicle in your car without intending to overtake. On which stretch must you leave space for a following driver to overtake safely, in addition to the braking safety gap?

Correct answer

One lane in each direction, overtaking permitted and traffic not congested.

On the stretch with one lane in each direction, overtaking permitted and traffic not congested. The additional overtaking space is not required in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, with more than one lane in the same direction, or when congestion prevents overtaking. The gap needed to stop without collision remains necessary.
