When are you allowed to drive faster than the maximum speed limit?

  1. When passing another vehicle

  2. When it’s raining

  3. When driving at night

  4. When the road is busy

The correct answer is: When passing another vehicle

When passing another vehicle is the only situation in which you are allowed to drive faster than the maximum speed limit. Driving at night, when it's raining, or when the road is busy are not valid justifications for exceeding the speed limit. It is important to always follow the maximum speed limit for the safety of yourself and others on the road.
