No. You should be driving to the conditions at all times. If it had been snowing and you was doing 70 down the motorway, your a dick.
Snow is obviously an exception. But for the majority of the year when the roads are fine there's no need to be driving slowly, its not even like it saves fuel!

We all know it just takes one slow person to cause massive tailbacks which frustrates everyone and makes the following people take risks they wouldn't otherwise take because they're being made late for work etc. It's ridiculous that one person can be that inconsiderate anyway imo! Id feel so self conscious holding up a massive queue of traffic I really don't know how they do it. Plus it takes real effort to drive that slowly. Then they get to 30 limits and speed up!
That irritates me the most! Drive @ 40 through a NSL, get to a 30, continue driving @ 40 and make you look like the prick...
I live down a long road that's NSL then 30, NSL, 30, 40, 30. I often follow people doing 40 through the 30, who BRAKE into the NSL road! Then get to the next 30 limit and speed up to 40 again. I really have no idea wtf they're doing tbh, they're usually old, but that's really not an excuse lol. And theres only a small overtaking place so you don't often get the chance to overtake so end up with massive queues because of just one person. That's where you really a smoky diesel to coal the f*ck out of them when you eventually pass tbh....I miss the Golf for that reason haha.
Infact - we shouldn't need laws or gadgets to force people to do things. People should just learn common sense, common courtesy and consideration for other people. That goes for most things, not just driving!
