What lateral safety distance should the moped rider leave when overtaking a cyclist?

Correct answer

At least one and a half metres.

At least 1.5 metres of lateral clearance. Use part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane; if there is more than one lane in each direction, Article 85.4 requires changing lanes completely. Do not overtake if it endangers or obstructs oncoming users. Outside built-up areas, before and throughout this manoeuvre travel at least 20 km/h below the road limit, while also respecting the moped’s own limit.
