If we are riding our motorcycle on a motorway behind a truck that is going at the maximum permitted speed for it, can we overtake it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On motorways and dual carriageways, the generic maximum speed for trucks is 90 km/h, while for motorcycles it is 120 km/h. Therefore, if a truck is traveling at its maximum permitted speed, a motorcycle can legally overtake it. During the overtaking maneuver, the motorcycle may under no circumstances exceed its generic maximum limit of 120 km/h. It should be remembered that on these roads it is never allowed to exceed the maximum speed to overtake.
