C1Difficulty 3/5

Which circumstance is itself an exception to the additional minimum 50-metre gap under Article 54(2), when it would otherwise be required to facilitate overtaking?

Correct answer

Travelling in a built-up area.

Travelling in a built-up area. Article 54(3) exempts the additional overtaking-facilitation gap in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, where more than one lane exists in your direction, and where saturation prevents overtaking. Enough distance to stop without collision remains compulsory; safety may require more than 50 metres. The exception does not remove other minima imposed by signs or tunnel rules.
