Outside built-up areas, on a two-way road with one lane per direction, overtaking permitted and no saturated traffic, you are not signalling an intention to overtake. Which case requires at least 50 m to facilitate overtaking by following drivers?

Correct answer

When driving a combination longer than 10 m in total.

When driving a combination longer than 10 m in total. Article 54.2 also requires that gap for vehicles with MAM over 3,500 kg and individual vehicles longer than 10 m. Section 3 excludes this rule in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, with more than one lane in the same direction or with traffic too saturated to permit overtaking. Also maintain enough distance to stop without collision: speed and grip may require more than 50 m.
