In the presented scenario, are you exempt from the requirement to maintain a distance of at least 1 metre when overtaking a cyclist?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No, you are not released from this duty. Under art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, when overtaking a bicycle the driver must keep a side clearance of at least 1 m. This duty is absolute and admits no exceptions, whatever the width of the carriageway, the traffic conditions or the speed.
