Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is no. A bus must always respect the maximum speed limit, both the generic one for the road and the specific one for its vehicle type. It is a common mistake to confuse this rule with the old exception (now repealed in Spain) that allowed cars and motorcycles to exceed the limit by 20 km/h on conventional roads; however, that exception never applied to heavy vehicles or passenger transport vehicles like buses.
