Question 1512 in the bank

Is a motorcyclist permitted to drive at the side of another motorcycle?

  1. No, he is only permitted to drive at the side of a private passenger car.
  2. No, he is only permitted to drive at the side of a commercial vehicle transporting passengers.
  3. Correct answer: No, but he is permitted to overtake it.
  4. Absolutely not.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No, but he is permitted to overtake it.

A motorcyclist may not drive alongside another motorcycle, but may overtake another motorcycle or pass it. While overtaking or passing, the motorcycles are side by side only briefly and are not driving in parallel. So the prohibition is not absolute.
