Correct answer
No, the time limit must also be observed.
Article 36.5 prohibits overtaking in the cases it governs if travelling alongside exceeds 15 seconds or 200 metres. Both limits must therefore be observed: no more than 15 seconds and no more than 200 metres. Meeting one does not permit exceeding the other. All other overtaking, signalling, priority, visibility and safe-clearance requirements also apply. The provision’s exception concerns bicycles performing the overtake, not every two-wheeled vehicle.
