And if they put governors on every car limiting top speed to 55mph they would save even more lives.

There's a simpler fix that would save even more lives, and actually improve fuel economy - Eliminate night lighting. 80-90 percent of all fatalities happen at night.

“And if they put governors on every car limiting top speed to 55mph they would save even more lives.”

Back when 55 was the speed limit, I had a 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne with a straight-6, three on the tree with a mechanical Overdrive. It loved 55 mph. It was smooth cruising. So I reaken 55mph being fast or slow really depends on the equipment set.

I still drive the speed limit, right hand lane, music on, takin’ a cruise... that’s how I roll.

No go. The essence of good transportation is speed.
