Correct answer
When there is no danger and it is necessary to leave a clearance of 1.5 metres.
When intending to overtake a cyclist on a road like the one shown in the image, the mandatory minimum lateral clearance to be maintained on a road or outside a built-up area is 1.50 metres. If necessary, we may carry out the manoeuvre even when there is a continuous line, and must even occupy part or all of the adjacent carriageway lane to ensure that the overtaking is carried out safely, as in this case. We will only begin the overtaking manoeuvre once we have made sure that there is no danger preventing it.
