Compliance was an issue,as most drivers drove 63-mph,regardless of what the posted limit was.
Some motorists literally fell asleep at the wheel,on long stretches,and died,often taking innocent nearby motorists with them.
Billions of dollars in man-hours were "lost"each year behind the wheel in lost produductivity.
Law abiding motorists,who "impeded" speeders,"wasted" millions of gallons of fuel through momentum death,caused by velocity discrepancies,deceleration,and re-acceleration.
'cause your fixin' to open a big can of worms! Good luck.------P.S. 78 no-drive days this year,and drove 15-mph under the posted limit coming to town today)no one else on the road).

HOW does one "calibrate" a car for lower speed? How? Your Dodge pick-up suffers from what conundrum? Methinks it's not your truck which suffers....
Rigs suffer MPG loss under this new law? I see the laws of physics & thermo have been waived again for you boys.
"Some motorists literally fell asleep at the wheel...yada, yada, yada. So? Don't other motorists do this, also? Does 55 bore them to sleep? This sounds like "We need an argument, quick!"
Billions of dollars in man-hours were lost...". What has this got to do with anything? Have you priced funerals lately?
This next is so absurd...where does one start? "...'impeded' speeders, wasted millions of gallons of fuel through MOMENTUM DEATH ( What is this ???), caused by velocity discrepancies, deceleration, and re-acceleration. Poor truckers! Are these the same scum-sucking *&%!#$! who shove me from the rear in their 60,000 pound rigs? I got news for these cats...BRAKES !!!
Enough foolishness for one month!
