Show answer

Correct answer

  • C1,5 metros como mínimo.At least 1.5 metres.
Explanation

Article 85 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires the rider of a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a moped, overtaking outside built-up areas to leave a gap of at least 1.5 metres from the parts of the overtaken vehicle that stick out most. It is a minimum distance, not a maximum.
