~8 miles - at 9 you can get a ticket. (there is a box to check on most tickets that says 9 miles... over the speed limit.)

I drive all over the USA in a big truck and anything over the speed limit may land you a ticket by an officier. But...
Most officiers in all states will give you 6 over if you do not brake when you go by them and hold a steady foot. Some states will give you 10. This is not true in a big truck. 4 over is becoming dangerous ground in some states now.

Technically any speed above the speed limit is ticketable.
Most cops I've talked to will give 5-10mph of buffer, especially if they're using a radar gun, partially because speedometers aren't 100% accurate and partially because the gun may not be 100% dead on.
It really depends on the cop. Some don't care if you're going 10-15mph over the speed limit on the freeway, as long as you're moving with traffic and not being reckless. But 10mph over in a 25mph zone will probably get you a ticket. My dad got a ticket once for going 3mph over the speed limit but the judge threw it out for the above reasons.

you can get a ticket doing 1 mile over but the cops usually give a leeway- no more than 10 miles over If the speed limit is 70 I set the cruise control on 79 and I have been passed by many cops (no problem)

You can only go over 10 miles for example if theirs a sign posted 65 mph u can go 75 and not get a ticket, however if you go at 76 then u can get a ticket

Legally, 1 mph over the limit can get you a ticket, but most police give drivers a 5 mph buffer . Some say that there is a 10 mph buffer but I wouldn't count on it.

where i live at in Tennessee they allow you 5 miles over the speed limit,anything over that and you get ticketed for the full amount,usually any state will allow a few miles over what is posted,good luck hope this help,s.

I have a lot of friends who are cops, and I can guarantee you that it completely depends on the cop, and what kind of mood they are in. If you dont want to get a ticket, dont speed.
