I’m willing to bet if there is a deal made on the off shore drilling with the Democrats a lower speed limit will be part of it. I hope its not lowered all the way down to 55mph. On the interstate that would be like crawling.
I understand about the interstate, and I know this is off topic, but where I live people drive on small roads through densely populated areas at +55MPH. I was hit head-on by a car full of teenagers coming around a bend in a two lane road at nearly that speed. Luckily I had air bags. Totaled the car, but only a broken bone and minor injuries resulted.
