Is a driver permitted to drive over the speed limit while overtaking?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- Yes, when it is required in order to shorten the overtaking time.
- No.
- Yes, but only on a non-urban road.
- Yes, but only on a multi-lane road and for a short time.
Why this matters beyond the test: When overtaking is prohibited and what counts as a safe passing distance -- the rules behind one of the highest-risk maneuvers a driver makes on any two-way road.
