What distance should you keep while riding a moped and overtaking a vehicle outside a built-up area?

Explanation

Correct answer: 1 m while overtaking another moped.

According to the Road Traffic Act, the driver is required to maintain a distance of not less than 1 metre when overtaking a bicycle, moped, or motorcycle, among others. This rule applies regardless of the type of vehicle performing the overtaking manoeuvre. Therefore, when driving a moped and overtaking another moped, a lateral clearance of at least one metre must be maintained.
