Correct answer

  • CNo, en ningún caso.No, never.
Explanation

No. The general limit for a car, 120 km/h on motorways and dual carriageways and 90 km/h on conventional roads, may never be exceeded. The option of going 20 km/h over it to overtake only existed on conventional roads and was repealed in 2022.
