Is it permitted to hold speed competitions on public roads?

Correct answer

Yes, exceptionally, when it has been designated for that purpose by the competent authority.

They are generally prohibited. Article 55 permits the exception where roads have been set aside for that purpose by the competent authority; sporting events also require prior authorisation under Annex II. Putting up signs yourself or choosing a quiet road is insufficient. Follow the authorisation’s conditions and authority instructions.
