I believe the answer is:

encroach

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go over the limit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'regularly being first to rant aboard bus' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'first to' says to take the initial letters.
'aboard' is an insertion indicator.
'bus' becomes 'coach' (synonyms).
The first letter of 'rant' is 'r'.
The alternating letters of 'being' are 'en'.
'r' going into 'coach' is 'croach'.
'en'+'croach'='ENCROACH'

Can you help me to learn more?
