On a conventional road, is a motorcyclist allowed to exceed the generic speed limit to overtake?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances. It is essential to be up to date with current regulations in Spain: since the Traffic Law reform came into force in March 2022, the exception allowing cars and motorcycles to exceed the maximum speed by 20 km/h on conventional roads when overtaking was eliminated. Currently, the speed limit is absolute and cannot be exceeded even to overtake, aiming to reduce accident rates on these types of roads.
