All of you jokers claiming the moral high ground better look at your speedometer once in a while.
Another exceedingly weak justification. Speeding, while illegal, does not pull income out of someone else's pocket. Someone who has earned that income by producing wht you just stole. And yes, it is "stealing" - taking that for which you have not paid. Apply whatever specific terms to further describe the activity that you would like, it is still stealing. Armed robbery, burglary, embezzlement, etc. are all under the broad description of "stealing". We simply ascribe more finite, descriptive terms to better describe the nature of the crime.
