I think he is asking why you would have to go over the limit to overtake a slow-moving car.

For example, on a well-lit road where the National Speed Limit applies one driver might only be driving at 45mph. In which case, you might have to drive at 50mph to overtake it safely and quickly.

If you have to exceed the limit and go at 70mph to overtake a slow-moving car, it's not a slow moving car!! And there's probably no reason to overtake it anyway as it's probably going fast enough.
