But only the highest one would stick, that was my point. In the OPs case, he was given two tickets, one for 20 over and one for 40 over, so if the judge decides he is guilty, then the 20 over won't matter, he'll just have to pay the 40.

Man that sucks, I just think such a situation goes against the whole "serve and protect" mantra associated with the police. But then I remember that traffic laws aren't intended to serve nor protect but "to make money", then it makes perfect sense.
Step 1: Put the burden of proof on the defendant(?) and then make the system complex, expensive, and incovenient.
Step 2: Profit.
