can you drive in the bus lane for 300m

Driving in a bus lane for 300 meters is generally not allowed unless you are making specific maneuvers such as entering or leaving the road, overtaking a vehicle turning right or making a U-turn, or entering a lane from the side of the road. The allowed distance for such exceptions in a bus lane is typically up to 100 meters. Driving beyond this limit, such as for 300 meters, could result in a penalty notice or fine. Bus lanes are primarily reserved for buses and some authorized vehicles like taxis, bicycles, and motorcycles. Private vehicles are usually restricted from using bus lanes except for certain short- distance exceptions mentioned above. If a private vehicle is found driving in a bus lane for longer than the allowed distance, it can be detected by bus lane cameras and penalized. Therefore, driving in the bus lane for 300 meters is not generally permissible under typical road rules. This information is based on road rules and regulations primarily from New South Wales, Australia, as a reference example, which align closely with other regions' regulations regarding bus lane use.
