I don't believe that is true, or an accurate reading.
IMO in California (and just about every other state), you can never legally exceed the posted speed limit.
In ADDITION to that, you can't go faster than is reasonably prudent. That means you might have to go SLOWER than the speed limit.
I.e., it's possible to get a ticket for going 55 in a 65, if that is unreasonable or imprudent.
But you can't EVER
legally go 70 in a 65, even if it is a deserted highway, no car for miles, dead straight, noon, clear day and you are in a car that just passed an inspection by the Ferrari F1 team.
