AMDifficulty 3/5

When the rider of a two-wheeled moped intends to overtake another vehicle outside a built-up area, what lateral clearance must they leave?

Correct answer

At least 1.50 metres.

At least 1.50 metres between the two-wheeled moped and the overtaken vehicle’s outermost parts, under Article 85.5. It is a minimum, not a maximum. Also overtake only when other safety requirements and applicable signals can be met; that clearance alone does not guarantee a safe manoeuvre.
