The speed limit is exactly that - the speed limit. It remains in place even when overtaking another vehicle. Chances are, if you're going five over the speed limit to overtake a vehicle, and a police officer observes it, they'll let it slide. Do 20 over, and they're not going to. However, there is no guarantee - the moment you go over the speed limit, you're subject to be cited for it, even in a passing situation.

∙ 12y agoIn the United States it is always unlawful to exceed the posted speed limit regardless of the reason. It is also part of the uniform driving code of the United States that some aspects of the laws (such as speeding) can be temporarily suspended to increase safety. Thus, increasing speed to pass a slow moving vehicle can be acceptable if it makes passing that vehicle safer. Increasing speed to overtake (catch up to) another vehicle is not acceptable.
