Correct answer
must travel at a noticeably higher speed without exceeding the applicable limit.
Must travel at a noticeably higher speed than the vehicle being overtaken and leave sufficient lateral clearance under Article 85.1. This difference does not authorise exceeding the speed limit. If a safe overtake is impossible within that limit, do not start. If circumstances arise after starting that make safe completion difficult, promptly reduce speed, return to the original lane and signal to following drivers under Article 85.2.
