"dennis@home" gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:

I frequently used to commute on a motorway in the Midlands, whilst a
lady in her 50's ( I'm just still in my 50's) used to drive at circa
45 mph causing HGVs to overtake and cause risks to all. Why she was
not pulled over and banned escapes me.

Because she is allowed to drive at 45 mph on a motorway. You lack of
understanding of the law appears to be a problem.

Ah, I think I see the problem. Is there not a saying that the law is
for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools? This truly is
the point. Unthinking folk have accidents in speed restricted zones due
to driving at inappropriate speed for the conditions. "But I was only
doing 30."

An appropriate speed would be the speed limit or slower. I don't see the
problem.

You probably think this is a terrible miscarriage of justice, too.
