Correct answer
At least 1.5 metres when overtaking outside a built-up area.
When the driver of a vehicle intends to overtake a two-wheeled vehicle on a road outside a built-up area, as in this case a bicycle, they must leave a lateral clearance of at least 1.50 metres to preserve both parties' safety. When overtaking in a built-up area, we must always leave a lateral clearance proportionate to the speed and characteristics of the road.
