France has speed limits that are 10-20km/h lower in rain/fog and maybe darkness, but 30km/h limits are always 30km/h.Fair point and agreed. The best way would be to have fluid, variable limits dependent on conditions as I believe happens in Germany. However you just have to watch British drivers in fog to realise that's not going to work
Surely part of the problem with British drivers in fog is that even tiny country lanes are still 60mph in fog and motorists suffer the same "fear from the rear" as many cyclists in those conditions, so feel they have to go as fast as they dare to reduce the risk of a forceful rear-entry? Drop NSL to 40 in fog and you might free a lot of people from that fear and help them drive more sensibly... but that's a different problem to 20mph zones, where some motorists think they won't be enforced, so an anti-social few flout them if it's physically possible and whine like dogs when/where there is enforcement. I'm with @Drago - speed camera cats eyes can't be far off being technically possible.
