47mph in a 30 zone, "Not Dangerous"

Well, that IS the law. .gov.uk stands for government. It's not an article by a journalist, it's a government publication. Maybe you ought to tell the government that they've got their own laws wrong then if you think you know better.

I'm simply quoting the law- an article on a website hosted by a government website doesn't make the law.

It wouldn't be the first time a government has got the law wrong would it?

The way I read it, I thought it meant the driver had deliberately driven generally recklessly, and it was that recklessness that had caused the accident, rather than that they'd intentional caused the specific risk that gave rise to the incident.
But all the law you've quoted does is qualify them as two different levels - i.e. "falls somewhat short" and "falls way short". It doesn't say qualitatively how far short is 'way' short.
