I'll partially disagree with that - some speeding laws are not out of date. 30 mph limits should IMO be ruthlessly enforced in built-up areas, near schools, parks and around hospitals.

However a 70 mph limit on motorways (especially the open, straight ones) is based on technology which was state of the art when the Ford Anglia was the vehicle-of-choice. We have come on a LONG way in car safety since then.

I'm not saying motorway limits should be scrapped - just that they should suit the location and conditions. If there's a stretch of road which is notorious for low sun or bad crosswinds then the limit should control the traffic accordingly.
