What lateral distance should we maintain when overtaking a car outside built-up areas?
A)At least 1.5 metres.
B)That proportional to the speed and to the width and characteristics of the road.Correct
C)1.5 metres maximum.
When overtaking pedestrians, animals, two-wheeled vehicles or animal-drawn vehicles, vehicles immobilised on the road, or assistance vehicles when they are carrying out aid and rescue operations, outside built-up areas, the manoeuvre must be carried out occupying part or all of the adjacent lane of the carriageway. In any case, the lateral separation shall not be less than 1.50 metres.
When overtaking a vehicle other than the above, or when the overtaking takes place in a built-up area and is not of a cycle or moped, a lateral safety margin proportional to the speed and to the width and characteristics of the carriageway shall be left.
When overtaking a cycle or moped in a built-up area, we must leave a lateral separation of no less than 1.50 metres, just as we do outside built-up areas.
