generally, around 7 mph over the limit is the threshold where cops will start pulling people over. less than that and you can mount a legitimate argument in court that you weren't actually speeding due to inaccuracies in the measuring devices (radar, stopwatch, speedometer, etc). those things arent perfect so you have to be going a good amount over to really prove you were indeed speeding.
but mainly it depends on the cop and the road. a dickhead cop might pull someone over for going 5 mph over while a guy who is more relaxed will let cars pass that are 10-15 over.
