When overtaking a cyclist at up to 30 mph, what is the minimum space the Highway Code says to leave?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. At least 1.5 metres
- Step 1: Rule 163 gives a minimum passing gap for cyclists. Step 2. Leave at least 1.5 m at speeds up to 30 mph, and more at higher speeds. Answer: At least 1.5 metres. Why not the others: 0.5 m and 1 m are too tight, and 3 m is more than the minimum.
