You drive a bus with seated passengers and seat belts, with no school or special transport, on a conventional road signed as a road for motor vehicles, outside a built-up area and with no lower limit. A car maintains 90 km/h. May you pass it by increasing speed above 90 km/h?

Correct answer

No; it may not exceed its 90 km/h limit to overtake.

No. In this case the bus’s general limit is 90 km/h, and overtaking does not allow it to exceed that limit. A road-for-motor-vehicles sign does not turn a conventional road into a motorway or dual carriageway, where the general bus limit would be 100 km/h. Observe any lower limit and adapt speed. A bus with standing passengers or without seat belts has an 80 km/h maximum outside built-up areas; school transport reduces the applicable limit by 10 km/h. Those cases are excluded here.
