although frustrating, it is up to everyone to drive to the conditions. rain, fog, unsealed surface, cars going slower in front - it is all relevant. the driver has to drive to suit what ever the hazard in their area is




as many have suggested - within reason, alertness and also competance is much more important than speed
i would much rather everyone drive 10 kph over the limit, providing they were aware of all the surroundings - either in front, to the side or behind, than someone driving 10 kph slower and not being aware
the powers that be are more interested in telling us to go slower incase of an impact, than trying to educate us into avoiding the accident in the first place. surprisingly enough - no impact, no road trauma

Very good points there.

4V Man, all too true!
