[Tutor] Why doesn't this work if I make these changes

[Bill Mill]

Diana,

what error does the second program give you? Does it have a semantic
error (i.e. not work like you think it should)? Try to make it easy
for us to answer your questions, and it'll be easier to help you.

Peace
Bill Mill

This program works the way it is now but I was wanting to make a
change. When I do change it, it no longer recognizes some things and I
was wondering why. Can someone please explain.
This is the program: 
def printStatement():
    print "\n","Posted Speed Limit:                 ",limit
    print "\n","Clocked Speed:                      ",clocked
    print "\n","Exceeded Speed Limit by:            ",speeding
    print "\n","Base fine for speeding:             ",fine
    print "\n","Fine for each mph over speed limit: ",speeding*5
    print "\n","Fine for exceeding 90 mph:          ",over90
    print "\n","Total charges:                      ",calculatedFine 
  
limit=input("What is the posted speed limit? ")
clocked=input("What was the clocked speed? ")
if clocked<=limit:
    print "This driver was not speeding "
elif clocked>90:
    speeding=clocked-limit
    fine=50
    speedingFine=speeding*5
    over90=250
    calculatedFine=fine+speedingFine+over90
    printStatement()
else:
    speeding=clocked-limit
    fine=50
    speedingFine=speeding*5
    over90=0
    calculatedFine=fine+speedingFine
    printStatement()
------------------------------------------------------------------ 
I want to make this change: 
  
def speedInfo():
    limit=input("What is the posted speed limit? ")
    clocked=input("What was the clocked speed? ")
    if clocked<=limit:
        print "This driver was not speeding "
    elif clocked>90:
        speeding=clocked-limit
        fine=50
        speedingFine=speeding*5
        over90=250
        calculatedFine=fine+speedingFine+over90
        printStatement()
    else:
        speeding=clocked-limit
        fine=50
        speedingFine=speeding*5
        over90=0
        calculatedFine=fine+speedingFine
        printStatement() 
  
speedInfo() 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Someone has told me that ya'll don't like to help with homework. This
already does what the assignment
asks for but I am playing with it trying to learn more. Thank you for
your help.
