Nothing SoCal about it. UK motorway speed limit is the absurdly low 70 mph.
Traffic usually moves at about 85 mph (bumper-to-bumper in the rush hour)
and I am not aware the police coralls (spelling?) cars en masse.

It is strongly rumoured that the British police favour a rise in the limit
to 80/85 mph.

Most of western Europe has a limit of 120 - 130 kph. In Germany the guide
speed (where no limit imposed) is 130 kph.
