My own observations of the new 80kph speed limit in France is that traffic now bunches up closer together, notably behind lorries, which now nobody will overtake as they are scared to break the speed limit by doing so. Then they sit there bored and tune out...
That's one of the use cases for an electric car with adaptive cruise control and lane assist! Safe, economical and relaxing. [That and the M62!]
These days I always use the speed limiter or the Propilot. It's a side effect of cameras everywhere, variable speed limits congestion, The car is rarely driven without one of these engaged. Once you get used to driving with a single pedal and a speed limiter then its actually quite relaxing. You've made a conscious decision on a maximum speed and the car won't go any faster, so you may as well relax and concentrate on the task.
