Correct answer
No
No. Overtaking does not authorise exceeding the applicable maximum speed. There must be enough margin to complete the manoeuvre safely without breaking the limit. This case excludes different vehicle-specific limits or a change in the leading car’s speed; no general permission adds 10 or 20 km/h for overtaking.
