No, you are wrong here. §5.2 StVo[0] says (my bad translation) "You may only overtake if your speed is significantly higher than the one being overtaken."
So let's assume the one you're overtaking is going with a solid 100. What's significant? Let's say 150? +50%. The one approaching with 240 is still the perceived rocket ship.
Also, just for completeness, here's a blog post about some case[1] where the speed was being judged, 10km/h is barely enough. So let's be generous and change my example to 100+120.

- lobotryas 7y agoDid you reply to the wrong person? By my reading we are saying the same thing. If a person cannot overtake quickly enough then they are at fault for impeding the “rocketship” traffic behind them.
