Last time I drove though down town Indianapolis, I had a truck on my left, a truck on my right, one in front and one behind me......All traveling 80+ mph......Really frightening

Maybe by raising the limit they will start enforcing it.

More like they will ticket only for >100 mph now. Raising the limit just raised the threshold.

There was an accident near Little Rock involving a car and some 18-wheelers last Saturday afternoon. They still haven't identified the driver of the car because he was burnt beyond recognition.

Maybe by raising the limit they will start enforcing it.

I haven't seen any evidence of that here - in fact, it seems to be getting worse. I see a lot of morons who follow too close, change lanes without signaling, cut off other drivers, etc.

Doubt if they'll enforce it on truckers. I have yet to see a MO HP pull over a trucker for speeding. The scenario you described is common--and absolutely chilling. It has led to the death of more than one new driver.

80MPH tends to be self-enforcing. ;-(
