As a noted theological lawyer, my first thought was that she was bang out of order, for does it not say in the Book of Old Moore 17.VII: "Lo! Behold the sign of the speed limit and obeyeth this at all times for it is there for good reason. He who doth exceed the stated speed shalt get 3 points on the license and a firm slap on the wrist or a speed awareness course at the very least." That sounds pretty much cut and dried ...
But then, I realised, that having been dead for 6 years really does make quite a difference. St. Winnifred's Letters to the Teletubbies 5.XXII, for example, states "Ye that have been dead for many years shalt transcend the laws of the living and be bidden only to do the will of the voices in thine head." There's no ambiguity in that sucker, so we can't ignore it.
Admittedly, there are a few grey areas arising from her response to an armed officer (obviously guns, unlike 120MPH motor cars, hadn't been invented when Ye Olde Grimoires of ye Sacred Law were written) so the Book of Old Moore fails to deal with it but the broader message of St. Winnifred would still seem to apply.
So, all in all, my considered verdict would be: give the lass a break! Life ain't easy when your dead and I'm sure she's very sorry for any inconvenience that she gave the cop. Let her drive home at whatever speed she sees fit and may her voices be with her.

Quote: ARTHUR:
Consult the Book of Armaments!
BROTHER MAYNARD:
Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one
SECOND BROTHER:
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy."
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--
MAYNARD:
Skip a bit, Brother
SECOND BROTHER:
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
MAYNARD:
Amen
KNIGHTS:
Amen

If the old voting system were in place I would have given you a five - no three!
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.

I once had to prepare a whole platoon of soldiers for a live exercise, including throwing hand grenades. I used this clip to get started and only had to ask what these guys got wrong. Easiest job I ever had.

I keep using Edge browser, and all of a sudden there comes a need to search something in google. (I feel google image search is better)
then I minimize Edge browser, open Chrome and type the search key and search.
It doesn't strike to mind that Chrome is not google. The separation of layers (browser-search engine) are mixed up. 
Its almost like looking for an android phone to login to your Gmail account. loll

Not "mixed up" but "better integrated" - and you don't have to use Google in Chrome, you can select your preferred search engine: "three dots", "Settings" - and it's under "Search Engine"

Mine says Google but uses Bing. It's been like that for the last few days after MS released some Windows updates.

That's Microsoft's cunning trap. They've done something with their Browser that's very crookedly stopping me to look for Chrome.

Beaten into submission.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

First, I hate unneeded thank you email, when the previous email warrant no response.
Its 2018, I can understand back even only 10 years ago that the reliability that an email was sent to the wrong person or caught in spam maybe. Is that still a concern today?
Even worse, when it from work colleagues in the same room.
"Here are the reports for Jan." < me: no thank you needed. that is my job.
"Can you run of the numbers for Jan" // "Here, attached." < no thank you needed.
Outlook, i know how it was sent to.
If they complain, I have sent items to show it was sent to them.
Additionaly, this is with a group of developers. Why are you wasting my time with a meaningless email. Say thanks in person next we walk past, when I am not trying to focus of coding.

Generic politeness. Some of us were brought up to say "please" and "thank you" at every opportunity.

In the corporate world, and especially between business units, it can be like 100-200 thank you emails a day, if you thanked everyone - clutters the process.

Yeah, well. If Jan would get his own elephanting reports and run his own elephanting numbers, it would de-clutter the process even more.
