Correct answer
No.
No. The general limit for buses on motorways and dual carriageways outside built-up areas is 100 km/h. Overtaking a lorry towing a trailer does not allow it to be exceeded, even if the lorry moves aside. Any lower limit applicable because of signs, the service being operated or traffic conditions must also be respected. Having seat belts is not a condition of the general 100 km/h limit on these roads.
