At least 1.5 metres, using part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane as applicable, without endangering or obstructing oncoming users. Outside a built-up area, reduce speed to at least 20 km/h below the road limit before and throughout the manoeuvre. If there were more than one lane per direction, a full lane change would be compulsory. Do not overtake unless all conditions can be met safely.
