Article 51 Maximum permitted speeds when overtaking

by Mark Nolan

This rule no longer applies after the 2022 update to the Law.

1.The maximum speeds set for roads that do not run on urban land can only be exceeded by 20 kilometres per hour by cars and motorcycles when they overtake other vehicles travelling at a lower speed.

Remember that on the motorway it is forbidden to go over the limit. That is to say that exceeding the maximum speed limit of 120 kilometres per hour would be sanctionable (police report).

 

2. Infractions to these norms will be considered as serious as previously stated in article 65.4.c), unless they are considered very serious.
