No. An articulated goods vehicle’s general limit on a conventional road is 80 km/h, even with two lanes per direction. Overtaking does not permit exceeding that limit or adding 20 km/h. Any applicable lower limit must also be observed. Safe overtaking requires a sufficient speed difference within the permitted limits.
