When overtaking cyclists, when is it permitted to use the oncoming traffic lane?
Overtaking
Explanation
To overtake cyclists safely, it is essential to follow certain rules:
- **Safety first**: You should only overtake when there is no danger. This means the driver must ensure that the maneuver does not endanger the cyclists or other road users.
- **Safe distance**: It is mandatory to leave a minimum separation of **1.5 meters** between the vehicle and the cyclist when overtaking. This distance is crucial to ensure the cyclist's safety and prevent accidents.
- **Lane conditions**: Although cyclists can ride on the shoulder or the right side of the lane, drivers must be attentive to road conditions and the presence of cyclists in the lane.

By following these guidelines, a safe and respectful overtaking of cyclists is ensured.
