Here is where i will have to disagree with you. The AAA was one of the strongest lobbying groups attempting to RETAIN the 55MPH limit.

Do you just lie and make stuff up? Read this . This is the AAA spokesman talking about how happy they were that the power to set speed limits was going from the federal government back to the states.

"The swift actions of these legislators were bolstered by the support of motorist advocates. "We believe that the states will do as good a job, or even a better job, at setting and enforcing the limits," says Bill Jackman, a spokesman for the American Automobile Association. "In many states the federal limits were really disdained. . . . All of the state departments of transportation are responsible institutions with respectable people working in them. We trust them to do their jobs well." With 39 million members nationwide, AAA represents the interests of almost a quarter of all licensed drivers. "
