It was a welcome change.
I was forced to drive much interstate mileage in Ohio and it swarmed with 55mph enforcing troopers.
It was, indeed, a welcome change. I have business in Las Vegas, Nev., which is 250 miles from my home. Under current speed limits, I can go there and come home the same day. With the double nickel still in force, I would have to stay overnight in Las Vegas, raising costs so high that I would have to discontinue this activity.
