How stupid is that woman?


No fuel would be saved.
More people would die in highway accidents.
A huge amount of time would be wasted in transit of goods and services, causing a general economic slowing.

I speed. In fact, I often go well over 90MPH on my sportbike on the freeway. HOWEVER, I don't do it when traffic is heavy, the weather is bad, or the flow of cars is going much slower than I am. In short, I accept the responsibility to control my machine at speed and know when to go fast and when not to.

Broken power steering?

If you mean everywhere, no. In certain places where I live though there are bus routes on 50 MPH roads, which is a hazard not only for the children but an obstruction of traffic. It would be much better if they lowered the speed limit and made a separate road for travelers.

Try driving across Texas and never exceeding 55MPH.then make the same trip at 75. Which one do you think you'd rather do?

Once these safety issues have been addressed then we can move on to speed limits. Remember, it's not how fast you drive but how you drive fast that makes the difference.
