[QUOTE="Lngvew, post: 120211, member: 1447"] Why not do what Jimmy Carter did back in the 70's. Slow everybody down! Look at I95, I40, I85, I77 take your pick, get out there and set your cruise control on the speed limit, 70 mph. Folks will blow you off the road, cuss you for going to slow. The average speed I would guess to be 85 mph. Back in the 70's the speed limit was 55 mph with most folks running 60. That is fast enough! How much better gas milage would your car get at 60 vs 85? How much safer and less stressful would the highways be? Give the folks 5 mph over, 6 over cost them $100.00, 10 over, $200.00 and for each 5 mph add another $100.00 to the fine. I am all for it! It wont fix the problem (if there is one) over night but look at the savings over a year. Your thoughts, [/QUOTE]
