Correct answer
- C1,5 metros como mínimo, ocupando de forma parcial o total el carril contiguo y siempre que existan las condiciones necesarias.At least 1.5 metres, moving partly or fully into the next lane, as long as the necessary conditions exist.
When overtaking a pedestrian outside built-up areas, the driver must leave a lateral safety gap of at least 1.5 metres, as stated in the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), specifically in the paragraph that says the manoeuvre must be carried out by moving partly or fully into the next lane, as long as the necessary conditions exist. This is essential for the pedestrian's safety and to avoid accidents. The correct option is the one about at least 1.5 metres and using the next lane, because it reflects this legal obligation.
