What is the statutory minimum safe clearance when overtaking a cyclist in traffic in Croatia?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. At least 1.5 meters lateral distance from the cyclist
- Step 1: Safe passing distance for vulnerable road users. Step 2. European standard and Croatian practice mandates leaving at least 1.5 m lateral space when passing cyclists to prevent wind buffeting. Answer: At least 1.5 meters lateral distance from the cyclist. Why not the others: 0.5 m is dangerously close and risks clipping handlebars; honking panics cyclists; speed does not waive safe distance.
