Question 2061

Is this passing maneuver correct?

  1. Yes, because the passenger car occupies part of the roadway for oncoming traffic and leaves more than 1.50 meters of clearance from the cyclist.
  2. No, because the passenger car enters the roadway for oncoming traffic.
  3. No, because the signs prohibit it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because the passenger car occupies part of the roadway for oncoming traffic and leaves more than 1.50 meters of clearance from the cyclist.

You may pass a cyclist even on a section where passing is prohibited if you do so without danger. Moving partly into the oncoming lane and leaving at least 1.50 meters of clearance are the required measures for this maneuver.
