I'm not sure if I am the only one who has noticed this, and gets bothered by it, but it seems the speed that some drivers has dropped to the 15 to 20 mph mark when driving on roads with a 30 mph limit. We are all aware thanks to the absolute lunacy of local Council's that many areas e.g. now all of central London have in many cases an utterly absurd 20 mph limit (as I've said before to deter IMO people from driving), but the utterly hopeless drivers who lack any confidence have now begun to drive at that speed and slower everywhere!
I was in France about a week or two ago, driving from Calais (Channel Tunnel) to Versailles and Disney Paris (I now know I'm too old for roller-coaster's!), and apart from their roads being about a million times better than tye rutted tracks that pass for roads here - their bad roads are better than our good roads, but few seemed bothered by speed limits locally or on the Autoroutes.
Maybe in Europe they are not breeding the nanny state we have over here.
