C1+EDifficulty 3/5

You drive a tractor lorry with a semitrailer, carrying neither dangerous goods nor a special transport load, on a conventional road outside a built-up area. May you overtake a car maintaining 90 km/h?

Correct answer

No.

No. This combination’s general limit on that road is 80 km/h under Article 48. You may not reach or exceed the car’s 90 km/h to overtake it. Overtaking does not permit exceeding the limit: the former 20 km/h allowance was removed and did not authorise this combination either. Observe lower limits and adapt speed to conditions.
