In Austrian traffic rules (StVO/KFG), what minimum lateral safety distance must a driver maintain when overtaking a cyclist in a built-up area?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. At least 1.5 metres
- Step 1: Following recent Austrian StVO reforms, drivers overtaking cyclists must maintain a minimum lateral clearance of 1.5 metres in built-up areas (and 2.0 metres outside built-up areas). Answer: At least 1.5 metres. Why not the others: At least 0.5 metres, At least 1.0 metre and At least 2.5 metres do not reflect statutory Austrian regulations.
