Speed limits have little to do with safety. 55 was made national as a result of the energy crisis of the 70's. Now a lot of states have 65 or higher. Have the roads gotten less crowded or have people's driving skills improved since it was 55? I don't think so. When I have to slow down to less than half the posted speed limit to go over a speed bump, that's ridiculous. When I can easily take an exit ramp at more than twice the posted yellow "advisory" speed sign, that's ridiculous. Stop telling me how fast to drive and try getting people off ther cell phones or to use their turn signals or to make sure all three brake lights work. As a motorcyclist, those are the three dangers I see most often on the road. Speed has never been a worry.
