  1. Motorcycles, passenger cars, and trucks.
  2. Pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles (VMP), and cyclists.
  3. Any two-wheeled vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles (VMP), and cyclists.

When passing pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles, and cyclists, you must leave at least 1.5 meters of lateral clearance, both inside and outside built-up areas. In the image, this is how you would have to pass the horse-drawn cart and the cyclist. Motorcycles, passenger cars, and trucks are not on that list.
