If we are driving on a dual carriageway outside a built-up area and overtake a truck, what lateral separation must we leave?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When a two-wheeled vehicle overtakes any other vehicle outside a built-up area, the lateral separation must not be less than 1.50 meters. It must also respect this margin with pedestrians, animals, and animal-drawn vehicles. Similarly, other vehicles must leave this lateral space when overtaking two-wheeled vehicles. In built-up areas, a lateral safety margin proportional to the speed and the width and characteristics of the roadway must be left.
