Err, I think you'll find it's about the *appropriate* use of speed, not rigidly sticking to limits!
On my IAM test I did a three vehicle overtake on the A32 during which I may well have exceeded the National Limit (I don't know, I was watching the road and the vehicles I was passing, not looking at the speedo).
The Examiner (a service PC) asked me about the overtake during the debrief, but his concern was simply that I was paying attention to potential hazards, not worrying about how fast I was going.
He was satisified with my replies, so I passed.
