Correct answer
Outside built-up areas, with one lane each way, overtaking permitted and no saturation preventing it.
On a conventional road outside a built-up area with one lane each way, where overtaking is permitted and traffic is not so saturated that it prevents overtaking. The additional gap is not required in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, with more than one lane in the same direction, or in traffic saturation that prevents overtaking. It is separate from the distance needed to stop without collision; that duty remains and may require a greater gap.
