All A2 licence questions · DGT question bank

In ordinary driving under the current rules, may you exceed the applicable maximum speed on a conventional road outside a built-up area on your motorcycle simply because you are overtaking?

Correct answer

No, because the maximum speed may never be exceeded, not even to overtake.

No. The 20 km/h allowance previously available for certain car and motorcycle overtakes on conventional roads was removed on 21 March 2022. Overtaking does not authorise exceeding the applicable limit, whether general or specifically posted; there is no 30 km/h allowance either. If you cannot complete the overtake within the limit and safely, do not begin it.
