I about fell out of my chair when Charles Krauthammer said he
supported a 55 mph speed limit.

I wonder if, with his physical challenges, if Krauthammer
actually drives a vehicle.

If he's driven around by others and has never needed to traverse
some of the wide-open/low-populations of flyover country,
he may just not have a full appreciation of why driving 70mph
TRULY beats 55mph.
And maybe he hasn't fully considered the old addage:
"Time IS MONEY".

Time is money. The money you'd save diving slower would barely be above minimum wage for the extra time you'd spend driving.

Not to mention the canard of lower speed means lower death rate. The real numbers, not the fake numbers used in the Carter administration, would show an insignificant percentage difference between death rates at higher speeds. If you want to stop the death rates why not lower the limit to 25 mph everywhere?
