Question 1792

When is a passenger car permitted to exceed the general speed limit by 20 km/h?

  1. Never.
  2. To pass on conventional roads (carreteras convencionales) and roads reserved for motor vehicles (vías para automóviles).
  3. When road conditions allow it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Never.

Passenger cars no longer have a 20 km/h allowance above the general maximum speed when passing. This maneuver therefore does not allow you to exceed the limit.
