You want to overtake cyclists on a narrow road. The width of the road means that the maximum possible space between them and the car is 50 cm. What should you do?

In Germany, when overtaking cyclists, you must keep a minimum lateral distance—1.5 meters in towns and 2 meters outside towns. If the road is so narrow that you can only leave 50 cm, you are not allowed to overtake, as it would endanger the cyclists. The correct action is to wait until you can overtake with the required safety distance. This protects vulnerable road users and is strictly enforced.
