Correct answer
More than 1.50 metres.
When overtaking outside a built-up area, the motorcycle rider must leave a lateral gap of more than 1.50 metres from the vehicle being overtaken. When overtaking more vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, animals, two-wheeled or animal-drawn vehicles, vehicles immobilised on the road or assistance vehicles carrying out rescue operations, the manoeuvre must be carried out by occupying part or all of the adjacent lane of the carriageway. This ensures that the lateral gap is not less than 1.50 metres, thereby ensuring everyone's safety.
