It is looking promising that the Texas Legislature will increase the speed limit in the state to 75 MPH in some rural areas. Some folks think this change is a good idea, while others believe it is completely insane. I personally think increasing the speed limit on rural roads is a good idea and I hope this new law goes into effect.
Let's be honest with ourselves and admit that most drivers on I-35 are already driving at speeds of 75 MPH or higher right now. Many older Texans remember well when Washington imposed a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour on everyone a few decades ago in order to save on energy costs. Today as it was in the past - most Texans don't want a uniform speed limit statewide and that is why I believe this law will pass.
