Correct answer
Applicable limits and your own speed and the speeds of other affected road users.
Observe the applicable limits and consider your own speed and the speeds of other affected road users. Also check visibility, clear space, separation and a safe return to the lane without obstruction. These speed factors alone do not authorise overtaking. Overtaking does not permit exceeding the applicable limit; do not attempt it if it cannot be completed safely and lawfully.
