So I would think both tickets would be thrown out as they cant substantiate which ticket is legit.

Not at all, the 80 in a 60 is just a lesser offence, and doens't mean that the guy isn't guilty of both, but in this case he'd be conviced of the higher offence if the cop brings up both.

Say if I hit someone in the head with a bat and kill them.
I'm guitly of murder, and technically assault at the same time. Just because I got chaged with assault before the guy died doesn't mean they can't change it to murder. Same as if a guy is charged with manslaghter, those chages can always be dropped and upped to murder if other evidence comes forward.
