Technically speaking, speed limits are set for worst conditions.
As in very rainy, very windy, poor visibility, etc.
So no, in your day to day life in ideal conditions — you do not need to follow the speed limit. Am I saying go double the speed limit? No. 10 miles above the speed limit is fine, though.
That being said, people who tailgate others can go fuck themselves. There’s never a good reason to be so close behind another car.

For worst conditions, it’s a common recommendation to slow down even further.
You do not want to drive by the limit when the road is slippery, the side wind blows your car away, and visibility is 10 feet.
