Can you go 5 over?
No. The speed limit is the limit and you could legally be pulled over in the US if you are above the limit. The fines are higher the faster you are driving, though, so since the police in the US is driven mostly by maximizing revenue, they usually do not bother stopping you for going 1 to 5 miles above the limit.
Can you go 5 over the speed limit in Texas?
Ticketing is also up to the discretion of the trooper, but as long as you are driving safely, going a few mph over the limit is considered legal. If you are pulled over for exceeding the limit by five mph on an empty highway under a clear blue sky, chances are good the ticket can be fought in court.

Is the 10\% +2 rule real?
The ‘rule’ itself is quite straightforward: if the speed limit is (for example) 30mph, the rule states that you won’t get a speeding ticket unless you are going 10\% plus 2 mph faster than the limit. It also sets out whether you are more likely to receive a fixed penalty, a speed awareness course, or a court summons.

Can you speed up beyond the speed limit to overtake?
It is a common misconception to assume you can speed up beyond the speed limit to overtake. Simply put, any speed beyond 70mph is breaking the law regardless of the situation. 70mph may seem slow if everyone is doing 90mph but even 1mph higher is punishable.

How fast can you go in a 20mph zone?
In a 20mph zone that means you have 20 plus the 10 per cent, which is 22mph, plus 2mph. That means the lower advisory limit for a National Speed Awareness Course is 24mph so you may get away with going 21, 22 or even 23mph. In a 30mph, it’s 30 plus 10 per cent plus 2mph, giving a total of 35mph.
