BDifficulty 2/5

When overtaking in a passenger car during ordinary travel on a motorway outside built-up areas, may you exceed the applicable maximum speed?

Correct answer

No, it is completely prohibited

No. Obey the applicable limit during overtaking too. The former 20 km/h allowance for cars and motorcycles on certain conventional roads ended in March 2022 and was never a blanket motorway allowance. If overtaking cannot be done within the limit and without danger, do not start the manoeuvre.
