BDifficulty 2/5

A motorcycle without a trailer overtakes a car on a paved conventional road outside a built-up area, without physical separation of directions. With no lower applicable limit, what is the maximum permitted speed during overtaking?

Correct answer

90 km/h.

90 km/h, the motorcycle’s general limit on that road under Article 48. The former additional 20 km/h allowance for overtaking another motor vehicle no longer exists. Always adapt speed and overtake only where lawful and safe. Do not generalise this car-overtaking scenario to vulnerable users: Article 85(4) requires a speed reduction of at least 20 km/h below the limit outside built-up areas when overtaking the users listed there.
