If the 106 had been dangerous, the charge would have been Dangerous Driving. Court appearance, mandatory disqualification, yada yada yada.
The charge of speeding simplicitous is a charge of simply driving at a speed in excess of an arbitrarily set limit.
Please let's not drag this into a speeding thread. I dragged 50 pages out of my last one of those. Yawn.

a decent lawyer (I am an indecent lawyer) might be more successful in arguing in front of a Judge that 106 in a 100 is is not (in all the circumstances of the alleged offence) dangerous: cost: lawyer time, time off for court case, (for the defendant and the popo): worst case scenario: you go down for what you said: best case scenario: walk away clean. Whereas a punter will just pay the velocity tax for a speeding infringement.
