No. Even when passing, you're still bound by the speed limit of that road.
No. You're still bound by the speed limit.
Nothing whatsoever.There seems to be a widespread belief that you're allowed to speed when passing, but this is not the case anywhere I have ever lived. It's called a speed LIMIT, not a speed SUGGESTION.
If they are doing the speed limit, there should be no reason to pass them. If you are exceeding the speed limit to pass someone, you could get a ticket particularly if they are exceeding the speed limit.
No. The speed limit is exactly that - the LIMIT. A police officer would PROBABLY (this is not guaranteed in any way) let you get by with 5 mph if they observed you passing (provided everything else you did was legal), but there is no exception made to the law in regards to speed limits for passing. You're still bound by the speed limit of that roadway.
In most places in the US you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit by any amount at all when passing. It's called the speed LIMIT, not the speed SUGGESTION. If you can't pass without exceeding the speed limit, then don't pass.Some states used to allow this, at least under certain conditions, but several of them have since changed their laws to forbid it. If you want a definitive answer, contact your state government; the highway patrol should be able to tell you for sure.

In general the answer is, technically, no, you may not. However if you are passing a slower moving vehicle it would be considered 'lawful' to exceed the limit to pass the slower moving vehicle and then immediately return to the posted limit once it was passed.
Do not exceed the speed limit is correct
