Correct answer
No; overtaking does not authorise exceeding its 90 km/h limit.
No. This bus’s general maximum on a conventional road is 90 km/h, and overtaking does not permit exceeding it. Since the car maintains that speed, do not try to pass by raising your speed above the limit. This type of bus has a general motorway or dual-carriageway maximum of 100 km/h, but that is not the road specified. Buses with standing passengers or without seat belts have an 80 km/h maximum outside built-up areas, and school transport has the applicable reduction. Always adapt speed to conditions and lower limits.
