When will we go back to the "energy speed limit" of 55mph?

Question

All these jerks drive too fast!!!

Answer 1

I think they will go back. But people are still going to speed no matter what.

Answer 2

The Washington Post said in an article last week that the drive-55 was less safe and fatalities caused by accidents went down when the speed limit went back to 70mph.  Someone driving 45 on a 70mph highway is far more dangerous than someone driving 85.  

Today's fuel injected vehicles are more efficient that carborators and only makes a 1-2mpg difference.  It's a stupid law that no one followed, and some states reduced their ticket fines to only $5.  

Maybe you need to speed up and quit being a road hazard.    

Answer 3

Most people ignored the 55mph speed limits anyways.  Going to lower speed limits is just a way to write more tickets.

If you don't want to drive above 55 get off the highway.  You are causing more problems by being in the way.

looloop - Using your theory the Autoban is probably one of the most dangerous roads in the world.  Instead its one of the safest.
