I don't like what I see at all. There are 2 groups, one wants like,
1400 miles of road to go to 65, the other wants way less to be 65, and only
for a few years. I don't know what the big deal is... The only impact
raising the limit to 65 will have on me will be 10 less mph over the
limit on my speeding tickets.* 65 is still *way* too slow. Try driving
140-150mph, and then slowing down to 65. It feels like 30. You'd swear
you could open the car door and step out with no worries.
