Correct answer
- CUna separación lateral suficiente para realizarlo con seguridad.Enough lateral clearance to overtake safely.
Under Article 85.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, during overtaking you must leave enough lateral clearance between the two vehicles to do it safely. The minimum clearance of 1.50 metres applies to two-wheeled vehicles overtaking outside built-up areas (Art. 85.5) and when overtaking cyclists, mopeds, pedestrians or personal mobility vehicles (Art. 85.4).
