The speed limit is exactly that - the speed limit. While a reasonable excess of speed might be overlooked when overtaking another vehicle, there is no guarantee. You can be pulled over and cited for speeding, still.

No. The speed limit is exactly that - the LIMIT.

You're still bound by the speed limit of that roadway.
