the speed limits were set some years ago for road vehicles with inferior brakes, stearing etc. and roads constructed with basic materials, but the people who drive the new cars with abs, eps, traction control and all the fancy techno stuff are still ill educated in driving. You try stoping a 2 tonne car in the fog on a damp road from 70 mph, having seeing the brake lights of the car in front come on, don't worry, if your brakes don't work, the car in front will help. it's all physics, friction, motion, energy an so on.
everyone should adhere to the speed limit, even the people who enforce it.
my driving qualifications were gained in the Army as a Staff car driver, i learnt evasive, combat skidpan driving among other styles, and i still get nervous on the motorways with in-experianced drivers wanting to drive at 100+
