What do you mean "who cares"? The point is if a motorist can clearly see that there are no hazards on the road they should be free to drive at national speed limits, not some arbitrary speed limit made up by some civil servant sitting in an office trying to tick a box to justify the existence of their position. You obviously don't know the road in question and are just spoiling for an argument.
The idea that the motorist has all the information in his view through the windscreen to decide the safe speed limit for a road is ludicrous. I know I don't know the road in question; the difference is, you don't know that you don't really know it either, you just think you do cos you've driven it a bit.
I'm (politely) arguing with you because I think you're wrong and opinions like this do real harm. Where are you in such a hurry to get to that a few minutes saved are critical so you break the law, anyway? Are you a paramedic?
