But the losers we have elected to Congress are actually looking at lowering the speed limit back to 55.
There have been rumblings here in Michigan, and now actual talk in Congress.

State police has already gone on record that speed limits don’t work unless people WANT to drive that speed, and many see this as a blatant attempt to generate “revenue” via excessive speeding tickets.
In most cases, I have slowed my speed down to 65 on my own. I get better mileage (about 40mpg) AND piece of mind that I don’t have to panic every time I drive through a speed trap because I know my speed didn’t creep up on me after a long drive. (My commute to work is an hour each way).
Should this be allowed to go through, or should we stand up and demand the feds back off? If people choose to drive slower [i](you hear me greenies, driving your hybrid 80 mph?)[/i] good for them, but it is moving to a more oppressive government.
