I can still remember my driving instructor saying "Always remember, it's a LIMIT not a TARGET". There are lots of side streets in London that have a 20 mph limit because they are narrow, with parking on both sides. I am happy driving at whatever speed the road and conditions allow, but it is true that accidents at high speed tend to be far worse and more often fatal. Having driven home once from Cirencester along the M4 in heavy fog, I am appalled at the fact that seemingly sane people can drive into a wall of fog at 70 mph and more.

And, to be fair, if you don't know the road, then caution is indicated.
