I drive in Edinburgh all the time. Not a single time have I ever driven where I couldn't either see what was up a head, or where my headlights didn't illuminate far enough out that I could not perform a safety stop. If that means you have to drive at 40 on an unlit national road instead of 60, then you drive at 40.
There simply is no excuse where "I didn't see them" is acceptable unless they literally run out into the road, or appear from behind a blind corner (and you should slow down around blind corners anyway for this reason).
I've never once been in an accident, I have seen plenty of bad drivers around Edinburgh. The limit is not a target, but a legal maximum. You drive to your conditions.
Anything else is just blaming the dead manslaughter victim. Which the author seems to do, or at least has zero sympathy for killing a woman and is salty at the "idiot laws" that put him in jail for ending someone else's life.
