Correct answer

  • CNo, porque la motocicleta a la que pretendo adelantar ya circula a la velocidad máxima permitida.No, because the motorcycle I want to overtake is already riding at the maximum speed allowed.
Explanation

No, because the motorcycle I want to overtake is already riding at the maximum speed allowed. When overtaking, you need to be going clearly faster than the vehicle you want to overtake. If the motorcycle is already riding at the maximum speed allowed, overtaking it would be neither safe nor necessary.
