When overtaking a bicycle in a car, what minimum lateral clearance must you maintain?

Correct answer

At least 1.5 metres, both inside and outside built-up areas.

At least 1.5 metres, both inside and outside built-up areas. Occupy part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane; if there is more than one lane per direction, change lanes completely. Do not endanger oncoming users. Outside built-up areas, before starting and throughout the manoeuvre, reduce speed to at least 20 km/h below the road limit under Article 85.4.
