Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On conventional roads, the general maximum speed limit set for trucks and vans is 80 km/h, regardless of the width of the shoulder or the number of lanes for the same direction. Traffic regulations provide no additional margin that would allow this limit to be exceeded in order to overtake. Consequently, if the preceding vehicle is already traveling at 80 km/h, the truck has no way of increasing its speed to pass it without committing a speeding offense.
