Correct answer
No, observe the applicable limit when overtaking too.
No. Overtaking does not allow the car to exceed its applicable limit. Observe lower limits and adapt speed to conditions even when the maximum is 120 km/h. The question concerns an ordinary car, not special cases such as a priority vehicle on urgent duty. The former 20 km/h overtaking allowance on conventional roads no longer exists either.
