We'll take my situation for example.

Was driving highway 1 and punched it, lo and behold it was an unmarked car behind me. Get pulled over, cop DOESN'T know how fast I was going. He says I was going more than 160km/h as he couldn't keep up with me (Wait, your police trim suv couldn't keep up with my bone stock Volvo 240? hahah). Puts on the ticket "more than 60km/h over"... Later, I get a letter in the mail saying that the ticket has basically been thrown out and that the cop has the right to issue a new ticket (that was a few months ago).

Moral of the story here, I woulda had my car impounded for "bad" ticket.

And no, i'm not saying I was in the right. But pretend I wasn't excessive speeding, maybe just accelerated really hard to 130km/h... Still not the 40km/h over... And I woulda lost my car for a week and been charged the fees for essentially the wrong offence.
