Question 1063

If you are riding a motorcycle, what lateral clearance must you maintain when going past a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction?

  1. The clearance needed to go past safely.
  2. A distance of less than 1.50 meters outside a built-up area.
  3. A maximum distance of 1.50 meters in a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The clearance needed to go past safely.

When passing an oncoming vehicle, you must leave enough lateral clearance to do so safely; there is no fixed distance of 1.50 meters that applies to every such encounter.
