There is absolutely no legal provision that makes it possible to exceed the speed limit under any circumstances on the public roads, apart from emergency vehicles.
Years ago, I recollect being advised by my military driving instructor that you were legally allowed to 'temporarily' exceed the speed limit on single carriageway when carrying out an overtaking manoeuvre.
I was inclined to believe my instructor and not head off and try to disprove him.
So maybe, somewhere in the distant past, this exception once existed.
