Show answer

Correct answer

  • ASí.Yes.
Explanation

Yes. The limit of not riding side by side for more than 15 seconds or more than 200 metres when overtaking applies to vehicles travelling on the hard shoulder, but it expressly does not apply to bicycles (Article 36 of the General Traffic Regulations). So a bicycle can overtake a moped that is travelling on the hard shoulder.
