Depends on whether he has a blowout at 55 or 75, or if the vehicle in front of him slams on the brakes when he's going 55 or 75.
The correct statement is, "I have 500 miles to go until I reach my destination and sack out, or 8 hours until I reach my time limit and sack out, because that's the law. In fact, if I'm tired already, I should stop sooner, rather than crank it up to 75 to try to beat falling asleep behind the wheel."
