Question 6

May one motorcycle pass another on this curve with limited visibility?

  1. Yes, when it maintains the legally required lateral clearance and does not enter the part of the road for oncoming traffic.
  2. No, passing is always prohibited on curves with limited visibility.
  3. No, because passing always requires entering the part of the road for oncoming traffic.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, when it maintains the legally required lateral clearance and does not enter the part of the road for oncoming traffic.

One motorcycle may pass another if the directions of travel are clearly separated, the area for oncoming traffic is not entered, and the required lateral clearance is maintained. Outside built-up areas, this clearance must be at least 1.50 m from the outermost parts of the motorcycle being passed.
