Question 7100

When you pass a person traveling in a wheelchair on a road outside a built-up area, what safe lateral distance must you leave?

  1. One meter at most.
  2. A distance proportional to the characteristics of the road.
  3. At least one and a half meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: At least one and a half meters.

Anyone traveling at walking speed in a wheelchair, with or without a motor, counts as a pedestrian. When passing them, like the person on the shoulder in the image, you must leave at least 1.5 meters of lateral clearance.
