True and good advice. The more familiar you are with tolerences of the area, the more you can comfortably do.
But except in the case of specific speed traps where they're pulling over multiple people, "don't be the fastest car on the road" typically protects you from this. If there are no other cars on the road or if you are the fastest, then proceed with caution.
Addendum: tolerances tend to be lower if you're from out of state, so that's something else to be aware of.
Addendum 2: Some states really don't mess around so always know the rules. In Virginia for example, going over 80 , or 20+ over the limit (whichever is lesser) can actually land you in jail and at minimum mandates a court appearance.
When I got my ticket in PA they had 4 marked cars on rotation pulling people over. Having one guy who is faster in front of you wouldn't help much. I don't think that situation is typical though.
