Yeah, in the US, it's pretty much acceptable to go 5 or 10 mph over the limit on any non-residential road. Cops generally don't ticket unless you are going 10+ mph over.
That's fascinating. In Holland we use a similar rule of thumb, but in Km/h, which is significantly less of a speed increase. Fascinating how the choice of unit of measurement affects behavior like this.
Going 8-20 Km/h too fast (the US equivalent) would definitely not be okay here. It happens, but if the police notices you're likely to get a ticket.
