Don't give in to the BS-mongers then.  I refuse to call driving in excess of
the speed limit "speeding."  My definition of speeding is traveling too fast
for reasonable safety given the local conditions.  You're not going to find
that definition in any law book, but who cares about law books?

Oh, but it's such an *easy* answer -- you don't even have to THINK when
something is written down so cut and dried for you.  What's legal is good, and
what's illegal is bad -- see, it's easy!  Now just don't think about it and do
as you're told...that's a good boy!  <heavy sarcasm>
