Reduce The Speed Limit
We once had a national highway speed limit of 55 mph.
I believe we need to return to a national speed limit until the energy crisis is under control.
I propose the country lower the speed limit to 55 mph in urban areas and 60 mph in rural ones.
Limits would be applied to trucks and cars — no more separate speed limits for different vehicles.
Any driver caught speeding with a radar detector in the vehicle should receive a fine for trying to avoid detection.
I apologize to law-abiding drivers everywhere. I come from an area of the country where many drivers believe posted speed limits are just a suggestion.
But remember that when drivers exceed the speed limit, they're burning more gasoline and ultimately contributing to our energy problems.
