I just got a ticket last week for going 85 on a 70 mph highway...I certainly wish the law was changed already.

Anyone who's driven through west Texas knows that this is not only nice to have but necessary. Rolling hills for literally most of a full day of driving. It's among the most boring drives EVER.

There's nothing wrong with increasing the speed limit in the wide open spaces. I have driven through west Texas a few times (lived in Midland once, well twice actually but the first time I was a little kid and my parents wouldn't let me drive :) ) and the drives can be long and lonely.

Lower speed limits are for areas where you have windy roads, congested traffic, school zones, city limits, and reduced visibility.
