You are riding your motorcycle on a road outside a built-up area. What lateral separation must you leave when overtaking a pedestrian?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When overtaking pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles, or two-wheeled vehicles outside built-up areas, it is mandatory to leave a minimum lateral separation of 1.50 meters. This rule aims to protect the most vulnerable road users from the risk of being run over or destabilized. If overtaking occurs within a built-up area, the margin must be proportional to the speed and road characteristics. However, cycles and mopeds must always be given 1.50 meters, even in built-up areas.
