Show answer

Correct answer

  • ANo.No.
Explanation

A speed limit set by a sign may not be exceeded, not even to overtake. In addition, the 20 km/h margin for overtaking on conventional roads, which never applied to signposted limits either, was abolished by Law 18/2021 with effect from 21 March 2022.
