Question 3737

When passing this cyclist, what lateral safety clearance are you required to leave?

  1. The distance that allows you to pass without entering the adjacent lane.
  2. At least 1.5 meters.
  3. A clearance equal to or less than 1.5 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: At least 1.5 meters.

When passing a cyclist, you must leave at least 1.5 meters of lateral clearance, even if you have to use part or all of the adjacent lane. This is a minimum, so you may leave more space, never less. With two or more lanes in your direction, you must also move completely into the other lane.
