Most people do not obey 20mph speed limits and enforcement is not adequate anyway. You could reduce the speed limit to 10mph if you liked, but it would make no difference.

Speed limits should be reasonable, otherwise they come into disrepute generally and people will just ignore them.
I disagree - I have found, near me (where a lot of 20mph limits have come in in the last year) that most people have dropped their speeds - it may not be 20 (more around mid-20s), but every little helps.
