I have seen signs in one or two places that say "100km/hr, it's a limit not a target".

Safe driving obviously means driving to the conditions (traffic, weather,...) and being courteous of others. There really needs to be two limits a top and a bottom and of course in enforcing the bottom there needs to be latitude by officers. Here, on this side of the ditch, officers can ticket someone for driving too slow, especially of they are creating a traffic hazard.
