You are driving a lorry and are about to make a permitted and safe overtake. Under this sign, does the overtaking exception allow the gap to the vehicle ahead to fall below 70 metres while always maintaining a safe distance?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. R-300 prohibits a gap smaller than shown except when you are about to overtake. The exception does not permit an unsafe gap or a prohibited overtake: you must be able to stop without collision and meet other applicable conditions and minima. It does not depend on whether the vehicle ahead is a passenger car.
