80 MPH in Texas



Well, not in this video I found...

Texas is proposing an increase to the speed limit in west Texas to 80 MPH. Do you think the used cars in the US can handle a meager 80 MPH with all the vehicle improvements? I'd love to see the roads in Texas used more like those in Germany, such as in the video above. With nice cars like the Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo depicted in the video above, and my favorites the BMW and Porsche, it's too bad we can't enjoy more legal spirited driving here in the US. Too bad most people aren't ready for it, even though the cars and many of the roads are much more capable.

Considering the amount of deaths and debilitating injuries that result from car crashes every year, I think increasing the speed limit to 80mph is unsafe and irresponsible. The government regulates speed to "protect" the people. I do not think knocking off 10 minutes from a road trip is worth losing more lives on the highway.
