Correct answer
- BSí, porque deja la separación adecuada y ocupa el carril contiguo.Yes, because it leaves an adequate side gap and uses the next lane.
According to Article 85.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), to overtake a cyclist you must use part or all of the next lane or the opposite lane, keeping a safety gap of at least 1.5 metres. Even if there is a solid line, Article 88.2 allows overtaking cyclists when, because of their speed, it can be done without risk. Outside built-up areas, you must also reduce your speed by at least 20 km/h below the road's speed limit.
