The Law:The speed limit is the speed LIMIT.

Reality: It very often is not possible to pass safely with out exceeding the limit, the book says if you have to speed you should not pass.

The fact that we often do exceed the limit to safely pass, and the Police look the other way (if it is by a minor amount, and the pass is made safely) is immaterial. They can ticket you for exceeding the posted limit at any time.

False. Even when overtaking another vehicle, you are still bound by the speed limit of that road, and can be issued a citation for speeding during the course of overtaking another vehicle.

Is it ever legal to exceed the speed limit?

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.
