Correct answer
Sufficient separation to overtake safely, considering the conditions.
Leave sufficient lateral separation to overtake safely under article 85.1, considering speed and the width and characteristics of the carriageway. This scenario involves two cars. For overtaking pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles or cyclists, article 85.4 requires using part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane and a minimum clearance of 1.5 metres, except on carriageways with more than one lane per direction, where a complete lane change is required. These specific rules also apply on urban roads.
