Effectively that's how the law is enforced anyway. I've never seen someone pulled over for doing <= 10 over the limit on a highway. On large highways you can typically get away with going <= 15 mph over.

I've gotten a hefty ticket for 7mph over. This was on a rural road with wide shoulders and broad turns. The spot where I was busted is a really long straightaway with absolutely no driveways or other sources of entering/exiting traffic. The road would be perfectly safe if the limit were 65mph rather than 55mph.

You probably won't "see it" until it happens to you. Highway patrol is managed for revenue generation rather than public safety.

If you're ever going through Southern Utah, between Vegas and SLC, don't do it... my last ticket was for 6mph over. Pretty pricey, for what it was at that.
