How do you know you are going the speed limit?  Speedometers in cars usually 
underread significantly at high speed.

Besides, it's not your job to enforce other drivers to keep to the speed 
limit, and you certainly shouldn't do anything illegal or dangerous.  In the 
UK there is a famous video from an unmarked police car that is catching up 
with another car doing ~100 mph on a 70 limit motorway.  A member of the 
public obviously has got annoyed by these fast drivers so pulls out right in 
front of the unmarked police car and forces it to go at what he thinks is 
the speed limit.  Both drivers were stopped and prosecuted.
