They aren't a precedent though on a point of law, they are not a binding decision for other courts & don't create "case law". Dangerous driving will be on how the court view the evidence in that individual case, rulings of other courts will have no effect on that decision.

They already have had an effect, visible in what you typed in. Early cases tried to claim that selecting such high speeds say between 140 - 150 mph was of itself dangerous driving, and that view was rejected. Now cases are indeed considered on their individual merits.

I disagree because high speeds were driven at daily by certain sections of the community & that wasn't considered dangerous then, because it was only done in appropriate places and for appropriate purposes.
