I'm sorry that you think that I and the many others are stupid, but please carry on in your smugness until the day that you make a mistake too.
I think you're being over-sensitive. And not reading the post you're replying to properly. Which just goes to show that not paying attention can lead to the kind of mistake that makes you look a bit silly...
It's entirely avoidable and pretty stupid to get caught out doing it. And even clever people do stupid things occasionally. The fact that speeding offences are broken down into different categories shows that the law recognises the difference between being carelessly a few mph over the limit and recklessly ignoring it.
You also have to accept that being distracted when driving is no excuse. In your case, a moment's distraction led to breaking the speed limit. In many other cases, a moment's distraction has led to people dying. That's all it takes sometimes. You can't afford to make mistakes when in charge of several tonnes of fast-moving metal.
