Speeding is never permitted, at least not in CT.
In some states and countries the passing lane on a highway is reserved strictly for passing and you can get a ticket for driving in it when you are not passing. In other jurisdictions, you are permitted to drive in the passing lane. This is why you need to be aware of local friving laws when you are driving away from your home.

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. If the other vehicle is already at the speed limit, you should not be passing it. If it were a police car you were passing, at any speed above the speed limit, they could stop you.

Passing to the right of another vehicle is usually permitted when the vehicle being passed is making a left hand turn. If the turn is proper, the driver should be close to the center line of the road but not over. This, on a standard road, leaves sufficient distance for most vehicles to pass on the right.
Be sure you are not in a no passing zone.
Passing on the shoulder is generally not permitted as it is unsafe and illegal in most places. Shoulders are usually designated for emergency stopping or vehicle breakdowns, so passing on the shoulder can endanger both drivers and pedestrians. It is important to follow traffic laws and only pass in designated passing areas.
