I always used speeded for the past tense of "speeding" as in breaking the speed limit and sped as the past tense of "speeding" as in the phrase "speeding past". Similar to hang/hung/hanged where hung is the past tense of hang unless in the context of hanging the form of execution, whose past tense is hanged. I wonder if there's a name for this phenomenon.
