The message
from "dennis@home" contains these words:

You seem to be equating excessive speed with speeding again, they are
unrelated.
Any speeding is excessive speed.
Not quite unrelated.
That is nonsense.


No it is fact.
Its even recorded as excess speed on your license.


On your licence perhaps but you will have been booked for exceeding the
speed limit in a commercial van in the days that they were limited to 40
mph on grounds entirely unconnected with road safety.

These days the police analysis of contributory causes distinguishes
between speeding and excessive speed.


The same way it distinguishes between a terrorist and a Brazilian?
