Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Road rules

You want to overtake a cyclist on a road with a 70 km/h speed limit. What minimum gap must you leave between your vehicle and the cyclist?

The answer

  • 0.5 metres
  • 1.5 metres Correct
  • 1 metre
  • There is no minimum distance

Why that's the answer

On roads with a limit over 60 km/h you must leave at least 1.5 metres when passing a cyclist; up to 60 km/h the minimum is 1 metre. You may cross centre lines to give this space, but only when it is safe.
