Dear god no.
Where I live we are already have 70 to 85mph on the most of the freeways and that is honestly still too slow by at lest 10mph as most people in the left lane are going at least 10 over already so 80 to 95mph is the norm for folks who are capable drivers and don't have a 20 year old car with bald tires. For the folks who say 55 is already too fast I am not sure how you would successfully navigate on the freeways here with 75 to 85mph speed limits with traffic moving at 80 to 95mph as you would be routinely getting passed by cars going 25 to 40 miles an hour faster than you. |

Why raise the highway death toll again by changing it back to 55?
|
|
Not only no but FUCK NO! I like my 75 & 85 speed limits here in Texas
OP should feel bad for even suggesting such a thing |
|
Yes. And govern all motorcycles so they can’t go faster than 60 MPH.
|
|
Speed limits are a construct. I prescribe to Critical Speed Theory.
|
|
There would be towns on 4 lane highways with a population of 500 that would have 50 cops and new cruisers every year.
|
|
|
55 should be mandatory for the vaccinated because:
1) They're retards 2) It will reduce the collateral damage if they stroke out at speed. |
|
No. I'd support an INCREASE in the national speed limit to 80mph, but with the caveat that minimums and maximums would be enforced far more vigorously.
I also want it to be much harder to get a license. |

Quoted: ...if the government removed CAFE standards? For a thought exercise, say the fedgov has determined that they could eliminate CAFE if a 55 mph standard was brought back. I know, the government doesn't give up power, but it's a thought exercise. Would you prefer to keep things as they are now, or would you support the speed limit? View Quote |

No 55 limit and eliminate the CAFE standards.
Stop with liberal thought process. |
|
They should do away with speed limits entirely and only write tickets for actually reckless driving.

I played that 55 shit back in the early 70's, Hell No- never going back.
If people could observe a "safe and prudent" speed for driving conditions, I'd be all for that. Except that it is someone else's preception of what is and what isn't. |

Maybe, if all state and federal fuel taxes are revoked as well.
|
|
Hell no!!!
I mean what’s the point of having a Tesla if you can’t go FAST? |

Quoted: Slower drivers moving right allows faster drivers to pass. Left lane campers force everyone around, which is when the problems start. If people simply moved with the flow of traffic and kept to the right, the roads would be much safer. Lowering the speed limit to 55 will not make the road safer because left lane campers are still going to camp. View Quote |

How about hell no on both
No compromise. Done with that bullshit. Compromise is how we ended up with the bullshit we got now. |
|
|
55mph the first time was dumb as fuck, now it would be 10x as fucking stupid.
|
|
|
It would just be easier if each lane was the same speed. Right lane 55 left lane 65 if there’s a third lane 75. Pick your lane and drive that exact speed on cruise.

no. I like to go on road trips across and to other states. 65 and 70 or 75 in those states that have them that high shaves hours off my travel time
55*8=440 65*8=520 at 55 it'd take 9 and a half hours instead of 8 to go the same distance at 10 hours of driving you're pushing 12 if you drop to 55 vs 65 |
|
Hell no.
Give me no speed limits, only assured clear distance ahead/prudent for the conditions, and high mile per gallon vehicles. I want to get 100 miles per gallon while doing 90 miles per hour on the highway, legally. |
|
I must confess. I drive the speed limit in school zones when the school zone lights are flashing. The rest of the time whatever seems reasonable. Heading out west for a two-week motorcycle trip on the 17th. Crossing the plains there will be a whole lot of maximum reasonableness on deserted two-lane roads like this.

Quoted: LOL Who the hell even drives 65/70? If you are not doing 75-80 you are getting run over. View Quote 90-95 is my preferred speed on the Interstate. Only reason I don't go that fast all the time is speed traps. Any decent, modern car will run safe and smooth at 90. This isn't the 1950s. 65 should be the minimum, not the maximum. If your POS can't safely drive at 65, it needs to be on back roads, not the Interstate. |
