Explanation

Correct answer: 1 m.

In accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, when overtaking a single-track vehicle, such as the bicycle shown in the picture, it is necessary to exercise particular caution and maintain a lateral distance of not less than 1 metre. Maintaining such a distance is crucial for ensuring the safety of the cyclist, who is a vulnerable road user and may be susceptible to sudden changes in their path of travel.
