Is it permitted to overtake a cyclist outside built-up areas, leaving a distance of 1.25 metres and crossing the solid line that separates the directions of traffic?
Overtaking
Explanation
To overtake a cyclist outside of town, it is **mandatory to maintain a minimum distance of 1.50 meters**. This safety measure is crucial to protect both the cyclist and the driver of the overtaking vehicle.
- **Safety distance**: When overtaking a cyclist, you must change to the left lane and ensure that the lateral separation is at least 1.50 meters. This ensures that the cyclist has enough space and reduces the risk of accidents.
- **Overtaking conditions**: You should not overtake in the same lane in which the cyclist is traveling. Additionally, it is important not to exceed the maximum speed limit allowed during the overtaking maneuver.
Therefore, the correct answer is that it is not allowed to overtake a cyclist leaving only 1.25 meters of separation, as it does not meet the minimum required distance of 1.50 meters.
