It is great to be back in the state of Texas, if for nothing else, than the 75 mile hour speed limit on I-10. Still too slow, but better than 65 or 75 in other states.
Why can't we all just agree to a system similar to the german autobahn?
no speed limit.
just drive safe.

@Jimm341 depends on the car, right? people should feel free to drive safely without the restriction of some arbitrary speed limit. in germany, you drive at a safe speed on the autobahn and only drive in in the left lane to pass people. when i am on the autobahn, i am rarely driving under 100 mph.
completely safe.

@sinbach Sadly just half the picture on Autobahn. There are not too many spots left on Autobahn without speed limit. Too much construction. Too crowded... Many times the limit is 130 km/h which might be around 80 mph. But Rechtsfahrgebot (obligation to keep right as much as possible) is awesome, yes :)

@Wanderer SAD TO HEAR that there are fewer places left without speed limit. 😥 now i am going to be depressed all day. i want to see the world of speed grow - not shrink.

@MLindley was in houston yesterday and the day before, but am now in st. louis.

@sinbach I think we have jimmy carter to thank
Didn’t he institute 55?
