No, as I more or less force other drivers to react differently and head into a dangerous situation. If I drive too fast (or even just accelerated) then of course again, I am at risk to everyone on the road in the near.
Then: is the limit driven appropriate to the given conditions? Is the road maybe slightly dirty/gritty? Could a horse/cow/sheep run out in front of me?
And on top: is my speed I was driving that, the Police would use? Would he drive faster or slower?
Appropriate speeds are all down to own ratings.
Everyone should think: "Am I driving like I would or like I should?"

I would also suggest this thought:
On a single carriage way road in particular, what would happen if I met myself coming the other way driving in the same manner....?
