Correct answer
No; neither circumstance permits exceeding the limit.
No. Observe the limit applicable to the vehicle and road section; neither overtaking nor light traffic permits exceeding it. The former additional 20 km/h allowance when overtaking on conventional roads was removed in 2022 and does not apply on motorways or dual carriageways either. Also adapt speed to visibility, grip and traffic conditions, even when that requires travelling below the maximum.
