A man’s got to know his limitations. I know I don’t need to be driving 85 mph. I’ll stay in the righthand lane and feel free to wave as you pass me by.
The golden rule, “Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.”
The remainder of the article (outside the excerpt) said that the 85 mph limit would probably only apply to new tollways that have the engineering for such speed.
I believe that there are stretches of highway where 85 could be done safely, such as on I-80 through the Bonneville Salt Flat in Utah. Beware, however, the road is up on an embankment there.
