If driving through a town we wish to overtake an animal-drawn vehicle, what lateral separation must we leave?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When overtaking an animal-drawn vehicle within a town, a lateral safety margin proportional to the speed, width, and characteristics of the road must be left. The general rule on urban roads establishes this proportional separation for most vehicles. However, when overtaking cycles or mopeds, regulations require a minimum separation of 1.50 meters on any type of road. Outside of towns, the minimum distance of 1.50 meters also applies to pedestrians, animals, and two-wheeled vehicles.
