Correct answer
No.
No. Overtaking does not allow you to exceed the applicable speed limit. The general bus limit on interurban motorways and dual carriageways is 100 km/h, but lower limits may apply: for example, 80 km/h outside built-up areas when carrying standing passengers or when the bus is not equipped with seat belts. Also observe signs and service-specific limits. There is no extra 20 km/h allowance for overtaking.
