Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On motorways and dual carriageways, the general speed limit set by the General Traffic Regulations for buses is 100 km/h (except in specific cases such as school transport or the transport of dangerous goods, or the absence of seatbelts). Therefore, if you are driving behind a truck and need to exceed 80 km/h to carry out the overtaking safely and smoothly, you may do so in complete legality, provided that at no time do you exceed the general maximum limit applicable to your vehicle on this road, which is 100 km/h.
