There is no obligation for a police officer to let you go at even 1
mph over the speed limit.  However, in practice a 5-8 mph buffer
is fairly common.  I heard somewhere that while the accuracy of
speedos in the US is fairly poor, there is some law that mandates 
that if they are off, they must read on the high side so that you
will be at or below any indicated speed.  When traveling, I usually
go with the flow of traffic, but not (usually) more than 10 over.
Once you are in the top 10 percentile and more than 5 over, you begin
to attract the kind of attention that you may not like.
