Is a driver permitted to drive over the speed limit while overtaking?
- Yes, when it is required in order to shorten the overtaking time.
- Correct answer: No.
- Yes, but only on a non-urban road.
- Yes, but only on a multi-lane road and for a short time.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No.
Driving over the speed limit is forbidden even while overtaking, whether on an urban road, a non-urban road or a multi-lane road. If you cannot complete the overtaking safely without exceeding the permitted speed, do not overtake. The wish to shorten the overtaking time does not justify driving faster than the limit.
