If you are driving a bus on a motorway behind a truck, are you permitted to exceed 100 km/h to carry out an overtaking?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On motorways and dual carriageways, the general speed limit of the bus is 100 km/h (General Traffic Regulations, Article 48(1)(a)). It drops to 80 km/h if authorized standing passengers are carried or the bus has no seatbelts, and it is reduced by 10 km/h in school transport and transport of minors (Article 48(1)(b)). That limit must not be exceeded even to overtake: the former 20 km/h margin existed only on conventional roads and for passenger cars and motorcycles, and the article that contained it (Article 51) has been repealed since 21 March That is why speed must not be increased by 20 km/h to overtake, or raised to 110 km/h: that margin never applied to buses or to motorways.
