They just put that “witnesses say he was speeding” bullshit to make everyone think speeding is the real cause of accidents which in turn makes the public think “PULL OVER ALL THEM DAMN SPEEDERS!” so the lazy police force can just sit in one spot with their radar on collecting more money from the people.
The fact is if he was doing 41 in a reduced-speed zone saying 40, they’d say he was speeding but his speed probably wasn’t even a factor. It very rarely ever is unless it’s excessive, like 30-40 over or more.
