If you are driving a bus on a dual carriageway and intend to overtake a motorcycle traveling ahead of you, are you permitted to carry out that maneuver if traffic makes it feasible?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On motorways and dual carriageways, the general maximum speed limit for buses is 100 km/h (unless they carry standing passengers or have no seatbelts, in which case the limit drops to 80 km/h). The traffic regulations do not allow, under any circumstances, exceeding the general maximum speed set for the vehicle, not even to carry out an overtaking maneuver. Consequently, the bus driver may overtake the motorcycle as long as they do not exceed 100 km/h. The 90 km/h limit is wrong because it corresponds to other heavy vehicles (such as trucks or vans) on dual carriageways or to buses on conventional roads.
