I know that any attempt to impose a new national speed limit would be political suicide. I can just hear the tea baggers now complaining that the government is taking away their freedom to drive the speed they want to drive on the government funded super-highway system.

55 is an adequate speed to travel in a car
why was the limit ever raised?
