Having been a police officer and given a few tickets, understand that what is going on when the officer writes the ticket for the lower speed is he is essentially giving you a break. I'm not sure exactly how your speeding fines are set up there, but her in Alaska once you hit 20+ the fine amount doubles. I never had a real problem with speeding, given the right circumstances, so, the reduced ticket is in essence a compromise. I don't slam you for the full amount you know you deserve under the law, but I get the point across that you probably should slow down, and I likely won't have to go to court. If I do have to show, it will get mentioned to the judge what the actual speed was.
Best bet: go to court if you can, but if the officer shows, plead no contest and pay the fine, no questions asked. If you push it and try to make the officer look bad for being a little decent and giving people a break once in awhile, he will STOP giving breaks and he WILL remember you and your car.
Remember, many officers are in their jobs cuz they like to drive fast. Not the only reason they are their mind you, but they sympathize with you, especially if you are driving carefully in a decent car.
