Are you allowed to overtake a cyclist, if the distance between the tram and the cyclist is 0.5 m?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, the driver is required to maintain a distance of not less than 1 metre when overtaking a bicycle. The 0.5-metre distance given in the question is less than the minimum required by law. Therefore, in this situation, performing the overtaking manoeuvre is prohibited.
