All the more reason it was good that TX ended the “one for the road” open container custom a few years ago. DWD definitely not a good idea at those speeds.

I am so glad they got rid of that stupid night time speed limit. Coming from La into Tx at night when you need to get to Dallas is just awful.

No speed limit for trucks.

And fuel economy will not suffer. Of course those people in the clown cars are going to have to pedal a lot harder.

Ever notice that everyone who drives faster than you is a maniac and everyone who drives slower than you is an idiot?!

Old joke alert!

Good for Texas. Any freeway/open highway limit below 75 is downright barbaric and uncivilized.

One way to stimulate the economy is a nation wide. 70 or 75 mile speed limit and do away with all the BS lane and two speeds BS. A truck and car running 70 burns more fuel, increases fuel sales and adds tax revenue. Enforce the right side for slow traffic rules to make up the traffic fines.

When I used to drive 18’s back in the 80’s, my Petercar was set at 78 for night time speeds...bird dog on.

Well I’ll be damned. The Texas Legislature did something that didn’t threaten anyone’s life, liberty or property. And it even makes a lot of sense. Incredible.

A few random thoughts...

Posted daytime speed limit in Montana on the highways (before the Nixon imposed 55 mph limt) “Reasonable and Prudent”.

Maybe these changes in Texas will keep the local gendarmes away from hiding in the underpass medians and start fighting real crime.

Waiting for the usual suspects to start the shilling about the coming “Bloodbath” on our highways in 3..2..1
