Question 7193

On this section of road, when may you pass a motorcycle?

  1. When I leave 1 meter or more of lateral safety distance and warn with the horn.
  2. When I leave 1.5 meters or more of lateral safety distance and do not drive over the dividing line.
  3. Never, because passing is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When I leave 1.5 meters or more of lateral safety distance and do not drive over the dividing line.

The center line is solid, so you must not cross it or drive on it to pass. You may pass the motorcycle if you have enough room on your side of the roadway and leave at least 1.5 meters of clearance. If you are riding a motorcycle outside a built-up area, that clearance is required, so one meter is not enough, and using the horn changes nothing.
