What minimum lateral gap must a two-wheeled motorcycle leave when overtaking a car outside a built-up area?

Correct answer

At least 1.5 metres

At least 1.50 metres between the motorcycle and the car’s outermost parts under Article 85.5. This applies to a two-wheeled vehicle overtaking any other vehicle outside a built-up area, not just passing vulnerable users. Visibility, space and safety must also be sufficient.
