Like on a freeway in order to cover more ground I would suppose but within reason. Most cops will go about 5 miles over I have noticed, unless they are trying to blend in in order to observe. Everywhere else they had better fallow the local laws like everyone else. This is only one persons opinion and not fact.

I don't really think that there is a possibility that a driver is aloud to go over the speed limit because I have a car. So For example if I do that and everyone else does then that will be a really tragic thing. Because if everyone goes super fast that wont be fair and truly i think it will be really bad for the pupils who are out on the street and there will be millions of drivers cars Will be destroyed and ruined. That's why I think that, that isn't a really good idea. Thank you for asking this question, I post many other comments as well. :] Thanks You ! xx Lol Not really :D

NO. It is never legal to exceed the maximum speed limit on the highway or any roadway. Even 1mph over the limit is a ticketable offense, even though most officers don't stop a driver for that. But the posted limit IS the maximum allowed. Just because other drivers are speeding, it doesn't mean you can and expect to be forgiven a ticket.

Can you go 5 over the speed limit in Illinois?

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.
