Question 7099
The motorcycle rider is passing another vehicle outside a built-up area; what lateral separation must he leave from the vehicle being passed?
- A distance proportional to the width of the road.
- More than 1.50 meters.
- More than 1.20 meters and less than 1.50 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: More than 1.50 meters.
In the image, the motorcycle is passing the passenger car on a road outside a built-up area. When riding a two-wheeled vehicle, you must leave at least 1.50 meters between the vehicle you are passing and the part of your motorcycle that sticks out farthest. This is a fixed minimum that does not change with the width of the road.
