Nixon signed the 55 MPH into law in 1974.

Nixon resigned in 1974; he died in 1994.

The 55 MPH limit was signed by Nixon, not Carter.

Bill Clinton did get rid of it, but it was signed by Nixon, not Carter.

I don't care! Carter never made any effort to see it set aside or repealed! Let's just call it a sin of omission rather than his sin of commission!

I do appreciate your effort to keep an accurate history on FR, however. Thanks...

It may have been signed by Nixon but I spent my early driving years under Carter. Just one more thing to bitch about from ‘77 - ‘79 for me.

After that, until it was repealed, I spent most of my time in Germany.
