BDifficulty 2/5

Under current rules, may a car exceed the permitted maximum speed on a conventional road merely because it is overtaking?

Correct answer

No, because it is prohibited.

No. The former 20 km/h allowance for certain overtaking by cars and motorcycles was removed from 21 March 2022. Respect the applicable maximum, including any lower specific limit, and overtake only when safe. Completing an overtaking manoeuvre does not authorise exceeding the limit.
