Correct answer
Yes, provided that 120 kilometres per hour is not exceeded while overtaking.
Yes, without exceeding 120 km/h. The motorcycle’s general limit on that road differs from the lorry’s. Overtaking does not authorise exceeding the applicable limit or travelling at 140 km/h. Check traffic, signal and keep the required lateral clearance. The old 20 km/h allowance for certain conventional-road overtakes was abolished on 21 March 2022; that allowance did not apply on motorways.
