Show answer

Correct answer

  • B1,50 m, aunque para ello tenga que invadir el sentido contrario, si no viene nadie en ese sentido.1.50 m, even if you have to move onto the opposite side of the road to do so, if nobody is coming the other way.
Explanation

When overtaking a cyclist you must leave a lateral gap of at least 1.5 metres. Under Article 88 of the RGC, on a stretch with a continuous line you may move onto the opposite side of the road if nobody is coming and the manoeuvre is safe. Outside built-up areas you must also reduce your speed by at least 20 km/h.
