Just as a historical note, Ford was still president (until January, 1977) about three years after the 55 m.p.h. limit went into effect. Supposedly it was kept on for "safety" reasons long after energy supplies ceased to be an urgent issue. All it really did was to teach a whole generation of drivers contempt for traffic laws. Ever notice when people in a 60 or 65 m.p.h. zone see a radar unit, they still slow, not to the speed limit, but 55?
