All A1 licence questions · DGT question bank

A motorcycle without a trailer travels on a motorway outside a built-up area, with no lower specific limit. If it can do so safely, may it overtake a lorry travelling at 90 km/h?

Correct answer

Yes, without exceeding 120 km/h and while meeting the safety conditions.

Yes, without exceeding 120 km/h, the motorcycle’s general limit on that motorway. The lorry’s limit does not prevent another vehicle with a different limit from overtaking. Reaching 130 km/h or adding 20 km/h to the limit for overtaking is not permitted. All other overtaking requirements must be met, and speed must suit visibility, grip and traffic.
