Raise Limit to 65 M.P.H.?
Raising the speed limit to 65 would be a terrible mistake!
The 55-limit:
--Saves lives.
--Reduces injuries.
--Reduces accidents.
--Lowers car insurance premiums.
The 55-limit takes less gas per mile and therefore causes less air pollution.
It is false to assume that law enforcement could be moved to urban areas. At a 65-m.p.h. legal “limit,” many drivers would go to 74 m.p.h. That is hazardous.
