Haven't noticed BRAKE mentioning that 70 etc is MAXIMUM speed ,and that folk should drive according to the conditions .Only way to stop freak accidents like this one is to slow everything right down ,all of the time -just what BRAKE wants .Problem is that if you hit fog suddenly and traffic slows down ,there always will be one or two who willl carry on regardless .
Perhaps it's an indication of how meaningless the present 70 limit is that it's almost dangerous to travel at 70 in most lanes .This is what causes a lot of te M1/M6 congestion problems on Saturday/Sunday when couple with MLM( Those days half the population of Bradford ,Leicester and London travel to see the other half that's stayed at home .It always seemed like it to me
