Is it permitted to use the adjacent lane when overtaking a motorcycle outside built-up areas?
Overtaking
Explanation
To overtake a **motorcycle outside of town**, it is necessary to follow certain safety rules. Here we explain why it is correct to occupy the adjacent lane when overtaking:
- **Minimum separation**: When overtaking a motorcycle, you must maintain a distance of at least **one and a half meters**. This ensures there is enough space to avoid any risk of collision.
- **Lane change**: To comply with the safety distance, it is necessary to **change to the left lane**. You should not overtake in the same lane in which the motorcycle is traveling, as this would not allow for maintaining the proper separation.
- **Visibility conditions**: Although there are situations where overtaking is prohibited, such as on curves without visibility or in adverse weather conditions, these restrictions do not specifically apply to overtaking motorcycles in normal and safe conditions.
By following these guidelines, a safe overtaking is ensured in accordance with traffic regulations.
