I've never gotten a ticket that way. When I was younger I got a lot of tickets. Every time, I was driving at least 15 miles over the limit and nearly every time the police officers wrote the ticket for 9 miles over the limit. I asked a couple of them if they stopped me and I was only going 9 mile over the limit, would they then write the ticket for 4 miles over the limit. They said they wouldn't bother to stop anyone for speeding only 9 miles over the limit, unless they wanted to stop the driver for another reason and needed an excuse. So, I began setting my cruise at 9 miles over the limit (sometimes 8 for added security) and I've never been ticketed again. ;-) I always set my cruise control at 8 or 9 miles over the speed limit when I’m on the highway.
