I believe the fine for speeding is graduated in steps...the larger the difference between your clocked speed and the posted speed, the larger the fine. I believe the first increase is at 15 MPH over the posted speed. So your speedometer may be accurate and he was being merciful to write it for 15 MPH over. Someone with more direct experience can clarify or correct my beliefs.
