What distance from the vehicle being overtaken or another traffic user must you keep while riding a motorcycle outside a built-up area?

Explanation

Correct answer: At least 1 meter if you are overtaking a motorcycle.

In accordance with Article 24(2) of the Road Traffic Act, when overtaking a single-track vehicle, including a motorcycle, it is mandatory to maintain a distance of not less than 1 metre. This requirement is intended to ensure the safety of the driver being overtaken, who is particularly vulnerable to a loss of stability caused by the blast of air. When overtaking other vehicles, such as a car, a 'safe distance' must be maintained, which is not defined by a specific value.
