Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSí.Yes.
Explanation

Under Article 85 of the General Traffic Regulations, to overtake cyclists you must occupy part or all of the opposite lane and leave at least 1.5 metres of distance. On this narrow road that is not possible without entering the opposite side of the road, so you may only overtake if it is clear.
