Question: 1 / 250

What is the exception to exceeding the speed limit on highways?

When driving under adverse weather conditions

When passing another vehicle in the same direction

Exceeding the speed limit on highways is generally prohibited. However, there is an exception when passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction. In these situations, drivers are permitted to temporarily exceed the speed limit to safely complete the maneuver and return to the appropriate speed after overtaking the vehicle. This provision is designed to facilitate smoother traffic flow and enhance safety during passing, as long as it is done responsibly and with consideration of other drivers. Driving under adverse weather conditions does not allow for exceeding the speed limit, as it's vital to adjust speed for safety rather than disregard traffic laws. Similarly, traveling during peak hours or using a commercial vehicle does not justify going above the posted speed limit either, as these scenarios require adherence to speed regulations to prevent accidents and encourage safe driving practices.
