Correct answer
No, overtaking does not authorise exceeding the limit.
No. The former 20 km/h allowance for cars and motorcycles in certain conventional-road overtakes was removed. Overtaking does not permit exceeding the limit by either 20 or 5 km/h. Motorways and dual carriageways never had that allowance. If the manoeuvre cannot be completed safely within the limit, wait.
