We have no maximum speed limit, when they tried to limit us to 60 (we have no motor.dual carriage ways) the police actively discouraged it.
Yes, it would have been detrimental to our tourist industry but if you are driving in a non restricted area at 50 or 100 and the police deem that it was unsuitable for the conditions, then the book will be thrown. It's easier for them to prove dangerous/reckless driving this way.
Driving to slowly causes accidents too.
