The 140 at the top, is so if your friend takes it to court, it matches the cops notes and they can refuse the knocked down speed and the judge can make his own knowing the true speed was 140.
75 in a 60, thats damn lucky, consider 50 over is automatic court, large fine, points....and a bad day.

The set fine on the ticket is an out of court settlement amount, and not a specification of how fast you were actually going to warrant getting the ticket.
If you contest the ticket, the whole basket comes with you to court, including how fast you were really going, and the original out-of-court set-fine settlement offer can be taken off the table.
If evidence (and the amount of speed shown on your ticket is not considered evidence) shows that you were going faster, then that faster speed is what you can be convicted and fined for.
It's happening more and more these days. Saw it happen again in court just yesterday.

No, not quite. The actual HTA section charge on the ticket is speeding plain and simple, not speed x km in a y zone or anything like that, but just speeding. There is no HTA charge called speeding x km in a y km zone.
