Speedometer question

Got a speeding ticket the other day my speedometer read 30 but the cop wrote me a ticket for doing 39. Maybe it just wasn't my day.
My question is what is the best and most accurate way to check the speedometer?
I have been searching here and finding all sorts of things about the speedometer, drive gear and all that but what is the best way to check the accuracy.
I am only 17 so I have limited knowledge about some of this stuff. I drive a 66 Chevy lwb with 327 and a powerglide transmission. The needle does bounce some at lower speeds. The PO had the transmission rebuilt about a year before I got the truck, haven't had any trouble with or anything just wanting to know how to check it and what my options are if it is off.
I have read this forum just about every day and learn something new every time.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
