No. The speed limit is exactly that - the LIMIT. A police officer would PROBABLY (this is not guaranteed in any way) let you get by with 5 mph if they observed you passing (provided everything else you did was legal), but there is no exception made to the law in regards to speed limits for passing. You're still bound by the speed limit of that roadway.

When passing another vehicle are you allowed to exceed the speed limit?
In most places in the US you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit by any amount at all when passing. It's called the speed LIMIT, not the speed SUGGESTION. If you can't pass without exceeding the speed limit, then don't pass.Some states used to allow this, at least under certain conditions, but several of them have since changed their laws to forbid it. If you want a definitive answer, contact your state government; the highway patrol should be able to tell you for sure.
