A speed limit is a "limit". There is no "can I go 4 miles over the limit" because that violates the law on which the sign is based! Now, some officers let small infractions like '5 miles over' go without even pulling the driver over. But it IS still a ticket-able offense and if the officer wants to enforce the letter of the law you will get a ticket. By the way, in traffic court, the Judge would get ticked off if a driver tried to argue that 5-over the limit does not warrant a ticket.

In practice, It is acceptable to increase the speed of your vehicle over the legal speed limit to pass or overtake another vehicle. Legally, it is not permitted.
