Elfer, good luck with the defense. AFAIK, the GW Parkway is enforced by US Park Police, and last I was aware the Park Police weren't hooked into the traffic record database with the States, so the points may not appear on your record (unless something's changed in the past several years....).
As for the "up to 10mph over" leeway, I think that averts wasted time in court for speedometer error claims. Slap a set of taller sized tires on the car, and you can get a dyno to misread by quite a bit. Although I understand that in parts of Europe, auto manufacturers are very liable for a big fine, if any of their cars, which is otherwise OEM equipped, proves to have a speedo that's reading less than the actual speed. I think that's why many Porsches seem to read a bit high (2-4mph over) on the OEM speedo.
