Driving within a built-up area, you want to overtake an electric scooter. What is the minimum space to the side that you must maintain?

In Germany, when overtaking vulnerable road users like electric scooters within built-up areas, drivers must keep a minimum lateral distance of 1.5 meters. This rule ensures the safety of the scooter rider by providing enough space to avoid accidents or causing them to lose balance. The 1.5-meter distance is a general safety margin to protect slower and less stable vehicles during overtaking maneuvers inside towns and cities. Always maintain this minimum distance to comply with traffic regulations and promote road safety.
