I was about to downvote you, since I think this statemment is, well, moronic.<p>Instead I kindly ask you to elaborate on just one situation, where <i>exceeding</i> the speed limit avoids danger.<p>Edited to add : To be clear: Speeding up upon overtaking doesn&#x27;t count. If you need to do that you should not have overtaken in the first place, since it was obviously dangerous.
