what is the maximum distance you can drive in the bus lane to overtake the vehicle in front of you

The maximum distance you can drive in the bus lane to overtake the vehicle in front of you, such as when that vehicle is turning right or making a U-turn from the center of the road, is 100 metres. This rule is consistent across Australian road regulations and applies to private vehicles using the bus lane for overtaking under these specific circumstances. It is important to exit the bus lane as soon as it is safe after overtaking and strictly adhere to the 100-metre limit to avoid penalties.
