Then drive slower. It's a speed limit not a speed minimum.

When I was training for my drivers license (in Denmark) my instructor told me to never drive so fast that I wouldn't be able to break to a complete stop within the current visible distance.

My instructor (in the UK) gave me the same instruction. To be fair, it's pretty intuitive. It's also remarkable how few people follow it (e.g. they don't slow down sufficiently around blind bends, or when there are pedestrians close by).
