Quite right Bazza. It is up to the emerging driver to judge the speed of the approaching vehicle, whatever it is, 82 or 182 come to that.
The trouble with the blanket 70 limit and the pathetic view that it is a real moral law has infantilised drivers to such an extent that a lot of them just pull out into your path however close you are and however fast you are going. Quite often they then add insult to injury by accelerating very slowly for reasons of economy. I imagine they think that if someone hits them it won't be their fault. So that's all right then.
There is no good reason for open road speed limits. They are just interfering rubbish, and they have subverted driving until it is almost no good and no fun any more.
Can't begin to say how much I despise these pathetic rationalisations justifying the limit. Damn nursery rubbish.
